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: |
370 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/29/2004 through 11/30/2004)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/07/2004 through 06/22/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 110 mm (06/22/2005)

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: This orchid is found throughout the Bahamas and reportedly
in Cuba. Plants grow in thickets of small trees or shrubs and in palm
forests, but they are found mostly at the bases of small trees in the
thickets. In addition, plants may sometimes be found growing directly on
the limestone with their roots among the dead leaves and other plant
debris that accumulates among the trees. Although reported by earlier
writers to occur in Cuba, we have been unable to find any details of the
habitat on that island, and the reports may be the result of the
misidentification of a plant that is now considered to be a synonym of yet
another species.
