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: 1024 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/27/2008 through 09/28/2011)
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 15 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/24/2008 through 01/03/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 80 mm (01/03/2012)

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: One of the most widely distributed of all Dendrobium species. The habitat includes southwest India, and the Himalayan region from northwestern India to southwestern China, including the tropical valleys of Sikkim and Assam and the Patkai and Khasi (Khasia) Hills. Distribution extends across Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and into the Philippines where plants grow on Luzon at 4250-4900 ft. (1300-1500 m). To the south, the habitat continues through Malaya, Sumatra, Java, and northern Sulawesi (Celebes), as well as Sri Lanka and the Sunda Islands. In Thailand, plants grow at 1970-5580 ft. (600-1700 m). In India, they are found as low as 350 ft. (100 m) in cooler regions, but in warmer areas they may grow as high as 4250 ft. (1300 m). Plants usually grow on trees in forest clearings.
