There will be a fine offering of the many other aspects of orchid culture that are also important to the hobbyist, the scientist and commercial grower. The increasing number of alliances will have the opportunity of a gathering where future plans may be laid, and as with all world orchid conferences a generous display of our treasured orchids. The World Orchid Conference offers us an appropriate occasion to help ensure the recovery of the Orchidaceae family. Come and lend your support to the implementation of these recovery plans. Lycaste macrophylla is found growing as an epiphyte and lithophyte at altitudes ranging from 3,280 to 6,560 feet, with a distribution range throughout Central and South America.
Some flowers are slightly scented.
For cultivation, aim for a minimum winter night temperature of 50 to 60 F and winter day temperatures of 64 to 70 F when resting. This species is listed as rare on the IUCN Red List. With great hope and expectation, let us formalize and put into action the knowledge accumulated at the 16th World Orchid Conference and future conferences for the sake of the recovery and restoration of this marvelous planet in which we live in.
