Acineta beyrodtiana

[Randy]

Greetings,

I believe this orchid belongs in this alliance for many reasons; folliage, flower habit and others. It doesn't have some of the characteristics of the flowers others do however. So maybe it belongs elsewhere but I can't figure it out, so if anyone knows please help me with that.

Anyway, my question is does anyone know what the flowering time is for this orchid? I know it's a shade loving, cool grower, that flowers down through the pot and has fragrant, waxy, long lasting flowers. And it's a native of Columbia. That is all I know. Any other knowledge of this orchid would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Sorry Randy...Orchidwiz has no growing information on this one

Randy, Jay's posting shows IOSPE PHOTOS and the only thing of value I get out of this is cool-growing and epiphyte. This tells me you could grow it mounted, but it needs cool temps year round. That's all I can find.

I got my info from Jays too. I did some other searches and I did get that it flowers in summer and some species need a semi-dry resting period in winter. But there wasn't much information out there.

Thanks,
Randy
