Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Takes high light, grows nicely mounted on cork
Pollen parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: This seed was received as Rhyncholaelia digbyana 'Hopbrook' x self, but the seedlings don't resemble Rhyncholaelia digbyana and the donor thinks that this is probably a misrecording of the pollination of Rhyncholaelia digbyana 'Hopbrook' x Brassavola cucullata 'Fu Man Chew'. This primary hybrid is known as Brassavola David Sander.

Pod parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

Pollen parent plant: 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: 450 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/03/2002 )
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 30 - 55 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/19/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 55 mm (03/19/2003)
