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: |
66 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/19/2004 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 25 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/12/2005 through 05/27/2005)

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: Malaya and Sarawak in Borneo. Sweet (1980) reported that
Phalaenopsis bellina f. murtoniana was originally collected near Changkat
in southern Perak state. Griesbach (1998), however, indicates that
Phalaenopsis bellina and its forms are found on Borneo while Phalaenopsis
violacea occurs in Malaya, which reflects the thinking on the distribution
of these plants that was generally accepted for many years. Recent work,
however, shows that these orchids occur in both regions, with those from
Borneo reported as originating in lowland forests while plants found on
the Malay Peninsula have been reported as occurring below 650 ft. (200 m).
