| 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: |
300 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/12/2002 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/18/2003 through 10/13/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 25 mm (10/13/2003)

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 were originally found on southeast facing
slopes in east-central Espírito Santo. Plants grow in rather dense forests
of relatively small, saplinglike trees at 2300–2950 ft. (700–900 m). Later
reports, however, indicate that plants may grow at any elevation from
1950–3300 ft. (600–1000 m). The prevailing wind in the region is from the
southeast, which brings moisture laden air in from the nearby ocean. This
air cools as it is lifted over the south- and east-facing slopes which
causes very heavy rainfall during the day and large amounts of mist and
fog at night through most of the year. Fowlie (1980, 1982) reported that
the south-facing or shady side of the hills are sloped at 30–45. Orchids
grow on small trees that are usually 2–5 in. (5–13 cm) across by about 20
ft. (6 m) tall. Host trees support an abundance of mosses and lichens.
This species has also been reported from near Belo Horizonte in the state
of Minas Gerais. Most authorities, however, feel that these reports are
due to erroneous identifications of Laelia pumila.
