Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: The flowers of the pollen parent look almost identical to the pod parent, except the color is muted and the keels are quite pale.

Pod parent plant: Blooms all year, repeatedly on the same cane. Nice fragrance, reminiscent of lilacs.

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: 330 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/28/2002 through 10/08/2002)
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 10 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/28/2002 through 04/01/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 40 mm (04/01/2003)
