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: 60 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/15/2005 through 07/12/2006)
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 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/15/2005 through 01/29/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 30 mm (01/29/2007)

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: Southwest China. Plants are found near the village of Napo, which is in western Guangxi (Kwangsi) Province near the borders with Yunnan Province and northern Vietnam. Plants usually grow at 2000-3000 ft. (610-910 m), but have been reported from as high as 3950 ft. (1200 m). Little else has been reported about the habitat, but Paphiopedilum henryanum has been reported as being found growing on the opposite creek bank from a colony of Paphiopedilum emersonii.
