Anguloa uniflora
This Anguloa is quite large, as the regular (330mL, or 11OZ) Löwenbräu "radler" can demonstrates. Lots of moisture and shade about 80% are needed for successful and healthy cultivation. It's not an easy plant. Citric perfume, delicious

Well done. I wonder if the Löwenbräu had something to do with it. LOL

How beautiful, and it's huge! You say it's difficult, but obviously you have done an amazing job growing it, well done!

Hello friends, thanks for looking!
Kim, somehow the "radler" ("shandy" in England) has to do with growing, 'cause it refreshes the cultivator! 
Camille, the hardest part was finding the appropriate location, 'cause with the same light as I provide to Stanhopea the leaves turn yellow and burn; once setting the brightness (better saying, "darkness"!) was easier because my environment is naturally very moist. |

Out of curiosity, what is your temperature range? I've been wanting to try some Anguloa species, but have not done so because I'm not sure if my temperatures are right for them.
Beautiful plant, by the way. The flowers look like big, sideways-facing tulips from profile view. |

Hi Carl,
Now in our summer temps can easily reach 33°C, but usually are between 22 and 28°C (always with heavy rain, almost daily). In the winter can fall to 10°C, but this seldom occurs, and the temps are between 15 and 25°C, with little rain. In spring and fall we have an intermediate climate, neither too hot nor too dry.
Good luck with these "crushed tulips"!
