Actually, I think officially it's just lindleyana now.
Interesting deciduous species. When it drops it's leaves and the growing tips on the roots disappear...give it very little water until new growth starts back up. Some winters it's dormancy period is short lived and others it's looked like a bunch of dead sticks until spring. Definitely a rambler and would be hard to keep in a pot.
Bright light....lots of water when actively growing (but roots need to dry off fairly quickly)...and intermediate temps. For me...it's been an easy grower and not difficult to bloom.
BTW - I have 6 Barkeria species and of those that I've bloomed so far...they have all been winter bloomers.
