Culture Notes from Donor: I grow most of them in spaghnum moss, but they should do well in other media.
Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: I observed these growing in Belize, mostly on a particular type of tall palm tree. They are good bloomers for me, and usually re-bloom off the same flower stem. When they finish blooming, they usually lose their leaves, and wait until the cycle begins again with a new growth.
Parent plant: Of all the batemanii that I grow, this one has the largest, best shaped, darkest colored blooms. This is a very good bloomer. On its second blooming this year, it had around 20 blooms/buds as evidenced by the photo. Small plant.

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. |

300 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/14/2002 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 6 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/14/2002 through 02/11/2003)
