Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: These plants are growing out in the yard in Boise, Idaho... the temperatures can be anywhere from 0-100°F and the humidity is typically averaging in the 40%s. I have found that even in our dry heat they bloom best if they get several hours of morning sun. They are very hardy plants! and bloom for several weeks each spring to early summer.
Comments: This is a terrestrial that grows outside in my yard.... I actually have 4 different cultivars and 3 were in bloom. The pollen could have been from any one of them... all in varying shades of lavender (this being the darkest). The temperatures range from below freezing in winter to a month of 90-105°F, and the plants do just fine as long as they are not allowed to dry out.
Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

| 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 03/03/2008 through 11/05/2008)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 30 - 90 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/22/2008 through 03/24/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 90 mm (03/24/2009)
