| 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: |
304 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/11/2010 through 05/20/2011)
|
| 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: Northeastern Australia. Cymbidium madidum is found between
sea level and 4250 ft. (0-1300 m) on the eastern slopes of the Great
Dividing Range from near the northern tip of the Cape York Peninsula
southward through Queensland to the Hastings River in northeastern New
South Wales. Plants grow in damp areas such as swamps, rainforests, and
open forests with high rainfall.
Plants often grow at the base of epiphytic staghorn or elkhorn fern, on
rotting wood, in hollows of trunks and branches of trees, usually in
rotting wood. They are occasionally found on the rough, fibrous covering
on the trunks of palm trees and on the surface of the ground on roadside
cuttings. Plants usually grow where they receive full sun for at least
part of the day, but they can tolerate heavy shade. Australian growers
report that Cymbidium madidum generally grows better in cool, humid
conditions with strong air movement.
