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. |

270 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/26/2003 )
|

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: Northeast Asia. Originally detected by Thunberg in
southern Japan, plants were growing on hills hear the port city of
Nagasaki on Kyushu Island. It is now known to be more widespread in Japan
where it grows on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. Plants are
also found on the small islands of Yakusima and Tanegasima off the
southern coast of Kyushu, on Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands, and in China
and Korea. N. falcata may grow on rocks, but is usually found growing
epiphytically on rather small branches of deciduous trees where strong
light is received in winter and early spring. Plants normally grow at an
angle on the branch so that water drains away and does not collect at the
base of the leaves. A grower in Japan reported that N. falcata does well
mounted on the coarse bark of a persimmon tree in his garden in Yokohama.
