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: 672 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/03/2006 through 08/27/2008)
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 0.5 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/19/2005 through 01/05/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 80 mm (01/05/2009)

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: Vietnam and Cambodia (Kampuchea). This orchid has a very narrow range of distribution, and in Vietnam, it is found near Dalat at 4250 ft. (1300 m). These plants are cultivated in the gardens at the Dalat Institute of Biology, a branch of the National Center for Natural Sciences and Technology of Vietnam. They are probably not in cultivation outside of Vietnam at this time, however.
