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 07/18/2007 )
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 5 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/18/2007 through 01/15/2008)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 70 mm (01/15/2008)

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from Nepal and the eastern Himalaya region through Southeast Asia, Malaya, and China, with distribution extending to Hainan Island, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Ryukyu Island and Japan. Plants have also been reported from Borneo and Java. In the Himalaya region, plants have been reported from several areas in Bhutan, in Darjeeling, in Sikkim, and the Khasia Hills at 4250-6900 ft, (1300-2100 m). In China, plants have been found in the provinces of Jiangxi, Fujan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Xizang where plants grow on trees and rocks in forests, on the edge of forests, or along valleys at 2600-7550 ft. (800-2300 m). These plants have been found in western Thailand from the northwest mountains at 5000-5600 ft. (1520-1700 m) southward to peninsular Thailand, with no habitat elevations reported in the southern locations. In Vietnam. This lithophytic orchid is found in the northeastern province of Cao Bang. Plants are rather common in this area, growing in open areas in mossy primary forests of semideciduous, mixed, and coniferous trees found on rocky, weathered limestone at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m). In Malaya, this orchid has been recorded only from Gunng Raya on Langkawi, an island just off the northwest coast near the border with Thailand. This orchid is reported to be fairly common in both East, where it grows south of G. Semeru at 2700 ft. (820 m) and West Java where it is found at 3300-4100 ft. (1000-1250 m). On Borneo, plants are know from Kalimantan and Sabah where they are found on hill and lower montane forest at 3950-4900 ft. (1200-1500 m). This orchid is rather widespread in the Philippines, but details of habitat location and elevation were not given. On Taiwan, plants are said to be found in the lowlands at up to 3950 ft. (1200 m). Because of the wide range in distribution and habitat elevation, two CLIMATE tables are included below. One CLIMATE table represents the warmer, tropical portion of the habitat, while the other is for the cooler, more temperate part of the habitat. The two CLIMATE tables give some indication of the range of conditions to which Liparis bootanensis should adapt.
