Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Enjoys some shade; grown underneath the bench in the greenhouse; pot is self-watering; mix is bark, sphagnum, perlite, and charcoal probably compensating for alkaline water conditions in which it has grown for about 5 years.
Comments: Parent plant: A nicely sized flower, quite pretty; won both 1st place ribbon and 3rd place ribbon at a society judging. Medium-sized plant.

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. |
