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: 87 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/04/2002 )
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 40 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/27/2002 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 70 mm (09/27/2002)

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: Panama, Venezuela, the Guianas (Guayanas), and Brazil. In Panama, plants are found near Gatún and in the hills east of Panama City at near sea level. Plants in this region frequently are found in the tops of slender trees in ant's nests, often in association with Epidendrum imatophyllum. Williams and Allen ([1946-1949 1980) reported that these plants "seldom thrive in cultivation, possibly from lack of some essential element contributed by the ants in their natural association."
