Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: The plant is a set of backbulbs received as Coryanthes leucocorys. They developed a vegetative shoot and a spike; cautiously I allowed the spike to develop, and the bud shape was not that of leucocorys but rather macrocorys, so I let it bloom to verify this. With some worry I pollinated it, and I hoped that it would be able to develop seed without weakening the plant, which it did.

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: 400 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/16/2003 through 01/16/2004)
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 40 - 120 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/06/2004 through 05/03/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 120 mm (05/03/2004)
