Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: Parent plant: This is an adult plant which has proven very floriferous. There are about 20-25 flowers per inflorescence and they last 8 - 10 days. This plant has flowered for us from late summer to early winter and is now sending out new spikes already. The vendor sold it to us as Gongora histrionica but it flowered much darker than any picture we found of this species, and has since been ID'd as rufescens by Rudolf Jenny. Culture is the same as for many gongoras, intermediate to warm temperatures, good humidity, frequent waterings, and light shade. Medium-sized plant.

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: |
360 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/30/2004 through 01/12/2006)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 30 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/13/2004 through 05/30/2006)
