Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Currently growing on thick slabs of tree fern and get watered daily with my other Vandaceous orchids.
Comments: Both parents were purchased from the same vendor at the same time so they may in fact be sibs but they appear to have been collected rather than seed grown so who knows.
Pod parent plant: Leaves are terete and pendant about 2 feet long and 4 or 5 per plant. Only produced a single cluster of flowers from the center of the growing point. Medium-sized plant.
Pollen parent plant: Leaves are terete and pendant about 2 feet long and 4 or 5 per plant. Only produced a single cluster of flowers from the center of the growing point. Medium-sized 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: |
270 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/03/2004 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/22/2005 through 05/25/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 40 mm (05/25/2005)
