| 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: |
240 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/18/2006 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 25 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/08/2006 through 08/17/2006)

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: China. This terrestrial orchid is distributed in southern
Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces as well as in the provinces of Hubei, Hunan,
Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan. Plants grow in rocky and grassy
places in open forests and along valleys at 2950-7850 ft. (900-2400 m).
This orchid is found in the same type of habitat in many of the same
regions as Bletilla striata (Thunberg ex Murray) Rchb. f., but usually at
somewhat lower elevations. We would, therefore, expect Bletilla ochracea
to be not quite as cold-hardy as Bletilla striata.
