| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |

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. |

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: Costa Rica. This epiphytic orchid is endemic to Costa Rica
where it grows on the Pacific slope in low mountain forests at 1950-3950
ft. (600-1200 m). This orchid grows at elevations that are always lower
than those occupied by the closely related Ticoglossum oerstedii and is
found in a zone that, according to Halbinger (1982), "has largely been
deforested for the cultivation of coffee and sugar cane, leaving mostly
gallery forest where Ticoglossum krameri appears to exist as a diffuse
population."
