| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have approximately one plant in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests. |
| You should: |
Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list. |
| Yield Estimate: |
209 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/25/2021 through 07/11/2023)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 4 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/25/2021 through 06/20/2022)
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 60 mm (06/20/2022)
|
| Expected Flask Price: |
$40.00 per flask of 16 (min.) plants
Plants proliferate if crowded, so are planted more sparsely than usual.

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. Plants grow in a very small area about 60 mi. (100
km) east of the city of Rio de Janeiro. They occur on the south or
seaward-facing slopes of the Serra Taquarucu at 1800-3200 ft. (550-980 m).
This mountain range, which is on the southern side of the Organ Mountains,
is the first east-west barrier of significant height over which
moisture-laden ocean air must pass. The habitat is one of the wettest
places in Brazil. Some reports indicate that Cattleya dormaniana grows
near the ground on dead, rotting wood of moss-covered fallen trees and
stumps. Dr. Fowlie, however, reported that plants grow on a lichen and
fungus covered species of Aspidosperma, a living tree, with bark that is
so soft and rotten that it crumbles easily in the hand.
