Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Cold hardy to at least freezing, and probably several degrees below that. Can be carried through cold dormancy in the refrigerator very easily. Grown in a very well drained organic mix with some moss as a top dressing. Bright conditions with several hours of full sun each day. Almost no water in the spring until the flower is open and the leaf has started to unfurl. After the leaf is up, water well. Don't water as the leaf dies, and don't water through winter dormancy.
Comments: Parent plant: Small but large-bulbed 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: |
270 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/20/2005 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/19/2006 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 70 mm (05/19/2006)

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: Southern China at 2952-11,808 ft. (900-3600 m). The
widespread plants often grow under rhododendron shrubs in deep leaf
litter. They reportedly grow in profusion at Ta-Li, an area of open pine
forests, where the Pleione are usually found on rapidly draining banks
and ridges.
