Pod Parent Flowers
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: I am currently growing it in a clay pot with Aliflor and coconut husks but am considering a mount as it appears to be somewhat pendant.
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: Was previously called Encyclia alata var. purpurata. Pleasantly fragrant and much smaller growing than E. alata.

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: 35 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/02/2005 )
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 40 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/10/2005 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 70 mm (08/10/2005)
