| 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 02/25/2005 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 30 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/09/2005 through 10/11/2005)

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: Nepal, Bhutan, and the Himalya region of northeast India,
including the Darjiling (Darjeeling) area, Sikkim, Assam, the Khasi
(Khasia) Hills in Meghalaya, the Naga Hills, and the Lushai Hills. The
habitat extends eastward across northern Burma, including the Chin Hills,
into Yunan and Xizang Provinces of southwest China. Plants grow in a zone
where rising currents of moist air condense to form a band of clouds by
mid to late morning during all seasons except winter. This almost constant
supply of moisture results in a gloomy, deeply shaded, damp, mossy forest
made up of very large, evergreen myrtle and castenopsis trees which
gradually give way to rhododendron at higher elevations. Cymbidium
longifolium is found on trees and rocks at the edge of the forest, usually
growing on the shaded side of large trees. They are reported to be common
in Nepal at 6550-8200 ft. (2000-2500 m), but may be found as low as 4900
ft. (1500 m) in some areas. Coelogyne cristata shares the lower portions
of the habitat, and visitors report that Cymbidium erythraeum Lindley
often grows on the sunny side of the same tree where Cymbidium elegans is
growing on the shaded side.
