| 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: |
70 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/25/2003 through 04/28/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/06/2003 through 03/22/2004)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Africa. This epiphytic or lithophytic orchid is found in
Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa (Mpumalanga and Northern Province),
Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The habitat is rather varied, with plants
often found on rocks or sometimes on stunted trees in exposed locations on
or near the tops of hills at lower levels of the eastern highlands of
Zimbabwe, while at higher elevations they grow in evergreen trees. In the
Transvaal region of South Africa, this orchid occurs in mountain
woodlands. Habitat elevation has been reported as 2950-6550 ft. (900-2000
m).
