| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
The seeds have germinated in the mother flasks. |
| You should: |
Reserve flasks right now.
Please only reserve if you are committing to purchase the flasks when they are ready later.
We only make flasks for people who request them, so you must make a reservation for us to do the work. If you don't reserve now, there will likely not be enough flasks made to cover your later need. If you wait to reserve until after we begin reflasking into final maturing flasks, then you will lose your place in line. Otherwise, your original notification request acts as your place-holder, keeping you earlier in line. |
| Yield Estimate: |
300 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/31/2023 through 06/27/2023)
|
| 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. The habitat includes the coastal mountains between
Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and an area between Belo Horizonte and
Formiga. Another population is found further north in the region of
Brasilia.
Plants are now treated as 3 distinct morphologic groups, which are
currently recognized as subspecies bicolor, subspecies minasgeraisensis,
and subspecies brasiliensis.
In addition, Cattleya bicolor has variable flowers, so a name may include
a subspecies designation and then a particular clone name. Each subspecies
originates in widely divergent habitats, so a climate table and habitat
information is included for each subspecies.
