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: 320 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/24/2005 )
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 5 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/15/2005 through 05/19/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 40 mm (05/19/2006)

In Malaya, plants are said to grow as a lowland epiphyte in the northern half of the country, and collections have been made in the states of Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, and Pinang.
