Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F). I grow this cool, but it should do well under intermediate conditions.
Comments: Both plants were purchased as seedlings from the same source and are probably siblings.
Pod parent plant: A 12 inch plant with flowers held above the foliage. Many small (just under 1/4 inch) but colorful flowers. Compact growth habit.

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: |
500 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/05/2004 through 11/29/2005)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 5 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/29/2004 through 05/30/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 50 mm (05/30/2006)
