Field Notes

Description:

It produces white, 5cm wide, fragrant flowers with a yellow tinted throat. Flowers are short lived.

The bloom cycle is triggered by sudden drops in temperature (at least 5.5 °C or 10 °F), usually as a result of rain, although the same effect can be artificially created. The plant produces a fragrant smell, but only for two days.

Habitat:

Plants are found attached to the bark of the other tree in semi deciduous lowland forest. Usually can be found growing on the roadside trees bark.
