Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: The species ranges from Texas to New England. So, even though it's best classified as a cold growing species, it isn't a fussy one. It survives blazing southern summers and Zone 6 winters. I grow them in a mix of coir, vermiculite, and perlite in a self-watering pot and store the rhizomes in the fridge for the winter. But many people just plant them in whatever soil they happen to have and ignore them.
 
Comments: This is a spontaneous pollination between my two blooming-size plants. They came as divisions from the collection of a native plant grower in Arkansas, so this is most likely a selfing.

Parent plant: Large 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: 15 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/01/2006 through 10/13/2006)
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 1 - 10 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/01/2006 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 1 - 1.5 mm (03/01/2006)
