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: 270 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/17/2003 through 05/07/2004)
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 20 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/17/2003 through 02/02/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 50 mm (02/02/2004)

(1550–1800 m). In Honduras, this orchid is usually found in the Caribbean watershed at 4350–7550 ft. (1320–2300 m). In Nicaragua, plants grow in numerous locations at 650–5750 ft. (300–1745 m).
