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. |

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Central and eastern Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos.
Distribution is rather widespread, but plants are most common in Thailand
where they grow at 1000-4250 ft. (300-1300 m) in cool, mist shrouded
forests. They are usually humus epiphytes with their roots embedded in the
moss, detritus, and leaf-mold on the forest floor.
