Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Mormodes are intermediate- to warm-growing plants. Since they are deciduous they require a rest. During the rest period, provide some humidity and misting because if left too dry the bulbs will shrivel; if provided too much moisture, rot will occur.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Waxy and unique smelling, beautiful mauve lip, birdlike shape, and very tropical looking. 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: 230 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/22/2004 through 07/30/2004)
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 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/22/2004 through 05/24/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 50 mm (05/24/2005)
