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: 170 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/03/2006 through 10/23/2008)
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 20 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/03/2006 through 06/22/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 70 mm (06/22/2009)

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: Panama. This orchid was discovered in Chiriquí Province near Vivero about 1.5-2.0 mi. (2-3 km) south of the Fortuna dam site in the Valle de Hornito at about 8.7N by 82.3W. Habitat elevation was not given, but topographical maps of the area indicate probable elevations of 1000-1950 ft. (300-600 m). The following climate table and cultural suggestions are based on this estimated elevation and should be used somewhat cautiously until such time as the actual elevation in known.
