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: 360 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/18/2007 through 12/15/2008)
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 40 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/02/2008 through 05/25/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 55 - 100 mm (05/25/2009)

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: Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. Plants are found on the western slopes of the Andes from northern Colombia to northern Ecuador. Plants are found from near sea level to 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They grow in very warm, moist forests and have moved onto coffee and cacao plantations. In Ecuador, plants have been found in the provinces of Pichincha, Cotopaxi, Bolivar, and Los Ríos near the Rio Palenque Science center where they were growing either as epiphytes or on embankments in wet tropical forest and in wet mountain cloudforest at 500-1300 ft. (150-400 m). This uncommon orchid is found infrequently in understory trees in shady forest. Although reportedly found in Peru, we have seen no reports in recent literature of either collections in Peru or details of habitat location there.
