I do not grow that species but found the following info : "we... reached 5,000 feet, where a cool, moist wind continually blows on the exposed sides of the cliffs and rocks, on the tops of which I found... Scuticaria irwiana growing... among masses of spongy, grey lichen. In nature Scuticaria irwiana flowers in October to November." source : De Ghillany, Anton 1974 'The Fairy Tale Discovery of Two New Scuticarias in Brazil' in American Orchid Society Bulletin, September 1974, page 788. *********** Regards, VB _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
