| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
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. |
| Yield Estimate: |
40 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/27/2004 through 02/02/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.5 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/27/2004 through 07/07/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 50 mm (07/07/2005)

This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Nepal, Sikkim, Darjeeling, Bhutan in the districts of
Gaylegphug and Punakha, the Khasia Hills in northeastern India, and
Vietnam. In Nepal, this orchid is found in the central part of the country
at 5000-7000 ft. (1525-2135 m). In Sikkim, Darjeeling, and the Khasia
Hills, plants are found at 3300-6550 ft. (1000-2000 m). In Vietnam, plants
were described as rare but have been found in the northeast in Cao Bang
Province. They grow as epiphytes in open, mossy, primary forests of
semideciduous, broad-leaved, mixed, and coniferous trees. These forests
grow on rocky, weathered limestone at 2300-2950 ft. (700-900 m).
