| 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: |
698 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/15/2009 through 05/13/2011)
|

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: Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Plants were originally
discovered on the banks of the Rio Dourado near Alfenas in the Brazilian
state of Minas Gerais. Other plants, which were described as L.
paranaensis, were later found near Joinville in the state of Paraná. We
have been unable to find any information on the reported habitat in
Argentina. A visitor to Paraguay reported plants growing in large numbers
on trees overhanging river banks. They were exposed to bright sun about 10
ft. (3 m) above the ground, but the elevation of the habitat was not
reported. We have found no reports of taxonomic collections from this
region. Because information about the habitat is incomplete, we have
estimated elevation. Growers should, therefore, use the resulting
temperatures and cultural suggestions with caution.
