Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Warm and wet with abundant fertilizer during the spring and summer months with a short winter rest.
 
Comments: Parent plant: This is an heirloom division of the 1972 CCM plant labeled "Stanhopea wardii 'Taylor el Toro" which has recently been identified by Christenson as S. embreei. Once established in a basket, it is a rampant grower and reliable bloomer. This year, it has produced seven inflorescences over a period of three months averaging four flowers per inflorescence. Very large 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: 332 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/05/2003 )
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 35 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/08/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 35 - 50 mm (04/08/2003)
