Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: Parent plant: The pseudobulbs are c. 4" in length and the two leaves are c. 10" in length. Most of the flowers have a purple picotee on the distal edge of the lip, but unfortunately, there's only a hint of that in the imaged flower here. Often my plant has two inflorescences per growth. Each spike presents between 6-8 flowers.

Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
