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: 2320 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/13/2008 through 06/15/2011)
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 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/20/2008 through 01/04/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 80 mm (01/04/2012)

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: Costa Rica, northern Colombia, and probably Panama. Plants grow on very tall trees, usually in bright, filtered light on large branches high in the crown of the tree or on bright spots on branches which overhang water. They are found at about 4600 ft. (1400 m), usually on mountain slopes which face the Caribbean. When first discovered in Costa Rica, however, plants were said to grow on the Pacific slopes. The habitat of the unifoliate Cattleyas in Colombia is described by Arango, in Native orchids of Colombia volume 1, as follows. "They grow on the mountainsides from 600 to 1600 m. above sea level, in spots where a constant breeze blows, the nights are cool but the midday sun is warm. In the early morning the forests are covered by mist because of the high humidity but later there is abundant sunshine; it rains often, almost daily, and in the so-called dry seasons a heavy dew moistens the orchid roots clinging to tree branches or spread over rocks."
