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: 320 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/29/2011 through 09/20/2011)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 25 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/30/2011 through 05/29/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 60 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: Malaya and Sarawak in Borneo. Sweet (1980) reported that Phalaenopsis bellina f. murtoniana was originally collected near Changkat in southern Perak state. Griesbach (1998), however, indicates that Phalaenopsis bellina and its forms are found on Borneo while Phalaenopsis violacea occurs in Malaya, which reflects the thinking on the distribution of these plants that was generally accepted for many years. Recent work, however, shows that these orchids occur in both regions, with those from Borneo reported as originating in lowland forests while plants found on the Malay Peninsula have been reported as occurring below 650 ft. (200 m).
