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: |
8 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/02/2004 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 40 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/02/2004 )

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: Malawi. This orchid is found throughout Malawi. They
usually grow at elevations of 3300-5750 ft. (1000-1750 m), but plants are
occasionally are found as low as 2150 ft. (650 m). Plants grow as
epiphytes on tree trunks and small branches, usually not far above the
ground, in moderate shade. La Croix (1997) reported that in the wild
plants have been found growing in forest under conditions so dark that a
light meter did not register. Plants also grow and flower well in rather
bright light, but under these conditions the leaves become rather yellow.
