Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: The donor originally believed this to be a species outcross, believing the margaritaceum to also be a bellatulum. After studying the very similar flowers, he decided that this is actually an interspecies hybrid, but later found it to be a cross between varieties.

Pod parent plant: Flowers very strongly scented of vanilla extract.

Pollen parent plant: Flowers scented of vanilla extract.

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: 171 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/30/2002 through 08/07/2003)
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 8 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/30/2002 through 08/06/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 50 mm (08/06/2003)
