| 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: |
934 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/30/2009 through 11/10/2011)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/28/2009 through 05/29/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 80 mm (05/29/2012)

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. The habitat is generally thought to extend from
southern Bahia to northern Espírito Santo. Miranda (1990), however,
reported that the habitat is limited to a very small area in southern
Espírito Santo where plants grow on large trees in dense forest. He
further stated that this limited habitat has been totally destroyed and
that this species, which has always been rather rare, is now impossible to
find in nature.
Even with all that has been written about this large, showy species, few
details of habitat location and elevation are available. Therefore, the
habitat location and elevation is estimated based on the habitats of other
species known to grow in the same habitat and to hybridize naturally with
Laelia tenebrosa. However, growers should use the resulting Cultural
Recommendations with caution.
