The Species: This Mexican species is a fall bloomer with fragrant, long-lasting flowers that is found in the highlands at elevations from 5000 to 8600 ft. The parent plant of this cross came from Mexico and I have grown it since 1986. It is still a favorite.

Culture: This species grows well with a wet summer and cool, bright, dry winter. It can be grown mounted or potted. If potted, a medium bark is a good choice so there is air around the roots. In the habitat, the winter lows will be in the low to mid - 40F, summer highs are in the low 80's.
