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: 0 plants (based on flask surveys done )
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.

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: Mexico south through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and extends eastward to the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. In Mexico, this orchid is found on both the eastern and western slopes of the dividing mountain range in the states of Hidalgo, Puebla, Veracruz, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. Plants grow attached to trees, rocks, or the surface of the ground. They most often grow on trees in habitats as varied as mountain rainforest, pine-oak forest, cloudforest, tropical semideciduous forest, oak forest, and coffee plantations at 2300-6550 ft. (700-2000 m). In Guatemala, plants usually grow on trees in wet forests at elevations up to 7850 ft. (2400 m), but they are occasionally found on rocks or on the ground. In Nicaragua, this orchid grows both on rocks or in moss on the forest floor in dense, wet cloudforest near Matagalpa and Jinotega at 3300-4600 ft. (1000-1400 m).
