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: 90 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/22/2004 )
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 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/22/2004 through 09/29/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 110 mm (09/29/2004)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

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: South Africa. This terrestrial orchid is common along streams, near waterfalls, and in seepages along cliffs near Cape Town in the southwestern part of Cape Province. These plants are always associated with permanent, flowing water, growing in black peat-based soil, deep sand, or moss beside streams and in rock crevices with its roots firmly established in moving water. Plants form dense colonies along streams above the midsummer water level, but with high water resulting from heavy winter rains, they may be completely submerged. Plants grow in acid conditions with a pH of 5-6 and can not tolerate water with a concentration of salts greater than 200 parts per million. Plants are found most often in full sun but grow in conditions ranging from full shade to full sun at elevations of 350-3950 ft. (100-1200 m)
