I want to throw my 2 cents into the stanhopea tigrina blooms do not like mid 90's temps discussion. I have noticed that they also do not like 50 percent sun exposure in the heat of summer in North FL. I have the 'Glory of Mexico' variety and it spiked and tried to bloom last summer and flowers barely almost fully opened and quickly faded away. It is currently in spike with 4 and I will bring to my local OS display pavilion where it will be shadier and see if it can mature the blooms and will report.
