Maxillaria gigantea Native To?

[Pitter]

I would like to know where the above orchid is native to. I don't find it on ISOPE nor on a list of species found in Valle Del Cauca, Colombia where I've found the plant.

Ok I see it is now Ornithidium aureum and that does appear in the list for Valle Del Cauca, Colombia.

Here's a tip...

They're intermediate growers (65 F - 85 F). Extremes are not really tolerated very well.

Thanks . Mine is growing outside. Don't know where it came from. Temperature range here 55 to 70 degrees.

Sounds about right.

Wish they could grow in my backyard without me purchasing them!
