We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |

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. |

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: New Guinea. This orchid was discovered in Dutch New Guinea
(now Irian Jaya) in 1914 on the north coast near Mamberamo. Habitat
elevation was not reported, but this is a low-lying coastal plain, so the
habitat was probably not very high. More recently, plants have been found
in Papua New Guinea where they are rather common is a small area in the
Central Province and grow on the lower trunks of large trees in
semideciduous forest and drier rainforest margins from about 500 (160 m)
up to 1650 ft. (500 m). Siegerist (2001) reported that this orchid is also
found in Borneo, but we have been unable to find any reference to the
habitat location or elevation in that region.
