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: 590 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/23/2004 through 05/16/2006)
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 0.25 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/23/2004 through 07/28/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 40 mm (07/28/2006)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from India through Southeast Asia. The habitat extends from the Manipur district of northeastern India, through the Tenasserim region of Burma, into the mountains of northern Thailand. Distribution continues eastward into Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Plants usually grow at 2600-4250 ft. (800-1300 m), but they have been reported as low as 650 ft. (200 m) and as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m). It is one of the most common dendrobiums.
