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. |

ORIGIN/HABITAT: New Guinea. This terrestrial orchid is distributed in a
narrow east-west band at 5600-5900 ft. (1700-1800 m) through the highlands
of central New Guinea from near the Wissel Lakes region in western New
Guinea (Irian Jaya) eastward to Southern Highlands Province in Papua New
Guinea. Plants are found grassy slopes that have been long deforested,
growing in heavy clay-like soil over limestone, and on limestone rubble in
full sunlight. They grow in the open in bright light among grasses or near
rhododendrons.
