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: |
120 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/17/2003 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 5 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/26/2004 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 5 - 20 mm (01/26/2004)

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 Myanmar (Burma) and possibly southwest China. In
Burma, plants are found in the mountains along the Tami River near Putao
at 3950-4900 ft. (1200-1500 m). They usually grow on the forest floor in
shady locations near the base of trees and have their roots in deep leaf
litter over rocky soil on steep slopes. Plants may also be found on cliff
faces, growing on moss covered rocks with only a few, loosely attached
roots. Plants are also reported from Yunnan Province in southwest China,
although information on specific collection sites has not been given.
There is some speculation that plants imported from China were brought in
from Myanmar (Burma) and then re-exported. However, it is entirely
possible that Paphiopedilum wardii does exist along the upper Salween
River.
