We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |

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. |

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: India and Southeast Asia. In India, plants grow near
Gangtok in Sikkim, in the Khasi (Khasia) Hills in Assam, and in the
Manipur district. They are also found near Nam Hat in upper Burma and in
western Yunnan Province of China. Plants usually grow at 3600-5900 ft.
(1100-1800 m). Plants called D. wattii originated in Manipur and West
Bengal, India, D. williamsonii originated in Assam and the Khasi (Khasia)
Hills, and D. luebbersianum originated in Borneo. Seidenfaden (ref. 454)
indicates that plants have been reported in Thailand and Vietnam, but he
questions their actual occurrence in these areas.
