Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
Comments: This may actually be a sib-cross (if the plants are from the same parents) or a selfing (if they are divisions of the same plant. Either is as possible as being an outcross since the plants came from the same source in Madagascar.
Pod parent plant: Awaiting ID. The plant and flowers appear to me identical to Polystachya rhodochila but are white/off-white and are fragrant. The 3 cultivars of Polystachya rhodochila that I have never have a fragrance. Small plant.

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: |
380 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/03/2004 through 08/24/2005)
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.2 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/03/2004 through 12/28/2005)
