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: 240 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/29/2010 through 05/22/2012)
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 10 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/17/2011 through 05/22/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 30 mm (05/22/2012)

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: Brazil. This species grows in the state of Espírito Santo, with a second population in the state of São Paulo. In Espírito Santo, plants are found from near the southern border with Rio de Janeiro northward to some distance beyond the Rio Doce. They grow on tall trees near creeks or in open forests of rather small trees located on steep northeast-facing slopes at 1300-2300 ft. (400-700 m). Plants are usually found in bright, broken light on lichen- or moss-covered, semivertical tree trunks. They seem to vary their position on the host tree to ensure proper light. In open forests of small trees less than 20-30 ft. (6-9 m) tall, plants grow 5-10 ft. (1.5-3.0 m) above the ground. However, when plants are found in tall forests with the crowns of trees 70-100 ft. (21-30 m), Cattleya velutina is found in the brighter light in the open crowns of the trees. In São Paulo, plants are normally found in the tops of huge old trees growing in swampy forests.
