| 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. |

315 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/21/2003 through 04/16/2004)
|

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras
Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. In Costa Rica Cattleya skinneri is one of the
most common orchids and has been designated the National Flower. Plants
usually grow in wet mountain forests from near sea level to about 4100 ft.
(0-1250 m), but they also occur on rocks at higher elevations where
rainfall is greater and evaporation is less.
