Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: We don't normally buy jungle collected plants but a friend had extras from a surprise shipment so we got one from him. The plant grows easily and blooms every year without difficulty. Nice pleasing fragrance. 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: 850 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/23/2004 through 04/11/2005)
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 1 - 65 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/02/2004 through 07/08/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 35 - 65 mm (07/08/2005)
