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: |
390 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/21/2004 through 01/26/2005)
|

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: Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Java, and Celebes. At
first glance, Paphiopedilum lowii appears to be epiphytic, lithophytic,
and terrestrial, but it is a humus epiphyte. It grows with its roots
penetrating thick moss on trees, in pockets of leaf litter, or on boulders
or cliff faces with roots buried in moss or humus filled pockets. Plants
grow near water or in areas with heavy rainfall and are usually found in
bright locations, frequently in full sun for part of the day. They are
normally found at 2500-4500 ft. (760-1370 m) but have been reported from
as low as 800 ft. (250 m) and as high as 5250 ft. (1600 m).
