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: 300 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/05/2004 through 05/24/2004)
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 25 - 760 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/02/2004 through 09/29/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 90 mm (09/29/2004)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Venezuela and Colombia. As Anguloa clowesii Lindley var. ruckeri (Lindley) Foldats, plants were reported by Foldats (1969-1970 ) as being found in the Federal District near Caracas at 2950 ft. (900 m) and in the Pico de Naiguatá at 6550 ft. (2000 m), as well as in the states of Monagas and Táchira, with no additional details reported. Dunsterville & Garay (1959) and Dunsterville & Dunsterville (1988), however, reported the occurrence of this orchid near Caripe in northeastern Venezuela, again without giving any specific details.
