In my experience, Tigrida pavonia is not used to temperatures over 95
degrees. The plants originate from temperate forests at roughly 1500-2500
meters above sea level in Mexico. I think that SOME wild-collected strains
could be more temperature tolerant, but the Dutch varieties that are sold in
stores have been selected to grow in Holland and are not used to high
temperatures.

I have a large clump of Tigrida pavonia growing in a tub from seed that I
collected about three years ago. These plants are surprisingly quick when
grown from seed and will flower in two years. There are numerous color
forms that exist and I have photographed at least 4 different color
variations just from what came up in my pots. A friend of mine has been
selecting offspring for very pale colors and he is getting close to
achieving his goal of a white flower with reddish spots. I will post the
pics to the Wiki at some point.
