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: 696 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/25/2017 through 08/08/2020)
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 5 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/25/2017 through 10/17/2019)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 60 mm (10/17/2019)

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: Southwest China in Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces southward into northern Thailand. Most of the plants in cultivation labeled as Paphiopedilum esquirolei originated in Thailand, however. Plants are found at 3950-5900 ft. (1200-1800 m.). The late Dr. Fowlie (1990) reported that in extreme northwestern Guangxi Province of southwest China, these plants are often found in the shade of trees on northeast-facing benches on steep slopes above the openings of limestone caves where they are bathed in moist air coming from the caves. They have usually sprouted on lichen encased saplings or tree roots and then sent their roots through a layer of fallen forest humus and leaf mold to attach to underlying limestone. Plants were sometimes even rooted in the black, clay-filled soil. In Vietnam, this lithophytic orchid has been found in the northeastern province of Cao Bang where it grows on vertical cliffs in mossy, primary and secondary forests of evergreen and semideciduous trees at 1150-2950 ft. (350-900 m).
