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: 425 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/17/2004 )
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 10 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/25/2004 through 07/07/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 40 mm (07/07/2005)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Africa. This orchid is widely distributed, with plants reported from Cameroon, Congo, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria, sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanznia, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Plants are found in various habitats from evergreen forests to woodlands at 1950-7200 ft. (600-2200 m), and may sometimes be found on rocks on hilltops. In Kenya, plants grow mostly as epiphytes in humid forests, usually growing among mosses on well-shaded branches. They are known from the warmer forests in central Kenya, including the Ngong Hills, the area around Nairobu, Nadau Hill near Kitui, Kericho and Mt. Elgon, growing at 3950-7200 ft. (1200-2200 m).
