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 03/07/2007 through 04/04/2007)
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 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/22/2007 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 100 mm (06/22/2007)

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: Venezuela, Trinidad, British Guiana, Colombia and Peru. In Peru, the plants have been found along the Rio Nanay near Iquitos in the Amazon Basin. In Venezuela, plants were found at about 1500 ft. (560 m) between the Icabaru and Uaiparu Rivers in the southeastern part of Bolivar Province. Plants were growing on trees in a fairly dense but not very tall forest. Some writers feel that the plants found in Peru may represent a separate species, but they have not been split out at this time. Specific habitat information was not given, but Coryanthes species are normally found growing in very acid conditions on the nests of ants.
