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: 375 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/20/2002 through 11/08/2004)
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 6 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/20/2002 through 06/14/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (06/14/2004)

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, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Plants grow in the Amazon Basin from west of Manaus, Brazil to the lower eastern slopes of the Andes west of Iquitos, Peru. Cattleya luteola has spread both north and south through the eastern foothills of the Andes. Plants are found in scattered locations in Bolivia and Ecuador. They also have spread onto the Brazilian Plateau southwest of Manaus. Plants usually grow in relatively shaded locations on rough-barked trees along rivers in wet, lowland, tropical forests at 650–2300 ft. (200–700 m).
