Flasks of
Paphiopedilum villosum var. boxallii 'Norkel' -spontaneous
 
 
 
 
Number: TN6579
Name: Paphiopedilum villosum var. boxallii 'Norkel' -spontaneous
Type: spontaneous    (What's that?)
Seed Donor: Eric Muehlbauer
 
No Photos Available
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
 
Comments: Parent plant arrived with a capsule. It was presumed to be a selfing or a sib-cross, but at least some of the offspring has leaves with markings instead of being solid green, so may be a hybrid. The grower who supplied the plant to the donor also has callosum, appletonianum, and purpuratum so any of these might be the pollen parent.

Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

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: 739 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/13/2009 through 11/11/2009)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 0.5 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/14/2009 through 06/14/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 70 - 80 mm (06/14/2010)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Burma. Plants are found in the region around Inle Lake at 3500-4000 ft. (1070-1220 m). Plants grow high up on dolomite cliff faces where they are exposed to bright light but not to direct sun. These plants are most often found in wetter locations, usually near streams, with their roots embedded in mosses and water seepages.
