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: 518 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/10/2017 through 03/16/2018)
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 15 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/14/2017 through 09/06/2018)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 60 mm (09/06/2018)

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: Peninsular Thailand. Paphiopedilum godefroyae is found on islands in the Krabi-Phuket Gulf along the west coast of the peninsula and on the Bird's Nest Islands in the Gulf of Thailand on the east coast. Plants grow on limestone cliffs, usually at less than 50 ft. (15 m). They are generally found in hollows and crevices in the limestone that are filled with humus and leaf litter, but they also grow on ledges with their roots embedded in deep humus. Occasionally they are found growing on the moss-covered tree roots. Plants on the Bird's Nest Islands grow only on the west side of the islands, while those on islands in the Krabi-Phuket Gulf are usually found on the north side of the islands. In both instances, plants grow where they are shaded from direct sunlight for most of the day.
