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: 150 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/22/2007 )
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 15 - 55 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/22/2007 through 07/24/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 55 mm (07/24/2007)

This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: This rather unshowy orchid is found from the southern tip of Florida where it has been found on the trunks and large branches of trees deep in the Fahkahatchee swamp. Mature plants are often more or less pendulous. Distribution extends southward from Florida to include all of Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. This orchid is also found in Mexico from the state of Veracruz southward through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and into northwestern Brazil. In Guatemala, plants have been found at several location in the departments of Alta Verapaz, Izabal, Petén, and Guatemala where they were growing on trees in humid forests or on the rocks of cliff faces from near sea level to about 4900 ft. (1500 m). In Panama, plants have been found in the Canal Zone near sea level along Gatún Lake, in Panamá Province on San José Island, in Chiriquí Province at 4000 ft. (1220 m), in the province of Bocas del Toro with no additional information provided, and in Darién Province along the Río Tuira at 50 ft. (20 m).
