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: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

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. |

300 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/15/2009 through 03/11/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 30 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/08/2009 through 08/09/2010)
