| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
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.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and
Vietnam. In Sri Lanka, this orchid is said to be rather common, growing on
trees in the tropical wet evergreen forests at 3000-4500 ft. (915-1370 m).
Plants are reported to be common throughout Taiwan where they grow in
forests at 1650-3300 ft. (500-1000 m). In Vietnam, this creeping,
lithophytic, or occasionally epiphytic, orchid is found in Cao Bang
Province at several locations near Thang Heng Lake. It is common and
locally abundant, especially along ridge tops. Plants grow on limestone
outcrops and cliffs in primary, broad-leaved, evergreen and mixed forests
at 1800-2950 ft. (550-900 m).
