| 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. |

600 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/04/2003 through 03/18/2004)
|

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico southward
through Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad, Venezuela,
British Guiana, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. These plants grow as epiphytes
in low-lying, hot, humid regions, usually below 3300 ft. (1000 m).
Specific habitat information was not given, but Coryanthes species are
normally found growing in very acid conditions on the nests of ants.
