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. |

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. Plants grow in riverside and swampy forests along
the Rio Paraiba and its tributaries in the western part of the State of
Rio de Janeiro from near Alem Paraiba to just east of Campos. They are
also found along tributaries of the Rio Muriae to as far north as the
State of Espirito Santo. Plants also grow the States of Minas Gerais and
Espirito Santo along the Rio Doce. They are sometimes found near sea
level, but they are more common at 1300–2600 ft. (400–800 m). Plants
normally grow 5–10 ft. (1.5–3.0 m) above the ground on trees with coarse,
rough, lichen-encrusted bark. Along with the orchids, these trees are
often laden with bromeliads, epiphytic cacti, gesneriads, and other
plants.
