| 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: |
548 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/24/2007 through 05/03/2012)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |

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: Brazil. Plants are found in swamps very near the coast
from near Rio de Janeiro southward to near Paranagua. The habitat
originally extended southward through the states of Rio de Janeiro, São
Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sol to almost the Uruguay
border. However, modern Brazilian writers report that the southern part of
the habitat has been destroyed and plants are no longer found there.
Cattleya tigrina usually grows in the tops of trees in dense swampy
forests below 350 ft. (100 m). Cattleya guttata Lindley is found in the
same area but spreads further inland and grows to somewhat higher
elevations.
