| 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: |
360 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/17/2004 through 03/15/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/09/2005 through 11/09/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 40 mm (11/09/2005)

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: Ecuador. Plants were originally discovered in about 1870
at an undisclosed site. The species was then lost to cultivation and not
even mentioned in the literature from 1893 until 1969. In 1962 it was
rediscovered in the eastern foothills of the Andes at 1500-3300 ft.
(450-1000 m) growing on tall trees in valleys south of Puyo. The habitat,
which extends about 31 mi. (50 km) north and south of Puyo, habitat has
high year-round rainfall.
Bergstrom (1989) reported finding a form of this species in northern Peru
near Huánuco. He stated that this species also grows in abundance further
south on the road from Tingo Maria through Divisoria at 3950-5600 ft.
(1200-1700 m), although most plants were seen at 4900-5250 ft. (1500-1600
m). Plants grow on trees, usually within easy reach of the ground, in a
region where the climate is moderate and the humidity very high. However,
Rolando (1990) indicated that the Peruvian variety of Cattleya iricolor is
actually the recently described new species Cattleya mooreana Withner,
Allison, and Guenard.
