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: 120 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/12/2008 )
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 20 - 65 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/02/2008 through 10/21/2008)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 65 mm (10/21/2008)

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: Mexico, southward to Nicaragua through Guatemala, and Honduras. Plants were first found near Xalapa (Jalapa), Mexico and later not far from Veracruz. Rhyncholaelia glauca occurs over a wide area, but it is not common in any of its habitats. Plants are often grow either on the surface of the ground or in trees in dry, open mountain forests at 3950-4920 ft. (1200-1500 m). However, they occasionally grow at lower elevations in dense tropical forests.
