Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Intermediate temperature, drier winter rest period.
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: Grows pendently in a small pot or mounted. Requires a drier winter rest to bloom. Canes become leafless, and are then covered in blooms creating a cascading effect. Medium-sized plant.

Pollen parent plant: Grows pendently in a small pot or mounted. Requires a drier winter rest to bloom. Canes become leafless, and are then covered in blooms creating a cascading effect. Medium-sized plant.

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: 240 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/10/2004 )
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 20 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/11/2005 through 05/24/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 80 mm (05/24/2005)

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: Widespread in Southeast Asia. Plants grow in southern and eastern India and the tropical valleys of Sikkim and Nepal where they are found at about 3300 ft. (1000 m). Distribution extends into Burma, southwest China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaya, and South Andaman Island. In Burma, plants grow near Moulmein in the Tenasserim Range at 500-4250 ft. (150-1300 m). In China, they are found at 3300-5900 ft. (1000-1800 m). Plants known as D. pierardii are usually found in mangrove swamps. They are normally epiphytic, but in deforested areas, they may grow lithophytically.
