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 10/08/2008 through 03/11/2009)
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 45 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/03/2009 through 06/30/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 100 mm (06/30/2009)

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Venezuela and possibly Colombia. Except for the fact that Lemaire mentioned that nothing was known of the history of this plant apart from the fact that it had originally been found at La Guayra in Venezuela, details of the exact habitat location and elevation of the habitat of this species appears to be a well-kept secret. In addition, there have been unconfirmed reports that plants were found near Magdalena in Colombia. See Jenny (1993) for a complete history of this species. For many years, many writers erroneously considered this species a synonym of Gongora quinquenervis, so we are uncertain as to exactly which species was being discussed in the older literature where Gongora odoratissima was listed as a synonym. As a result of the uncertainty of the available information and the fact that we have no climatological records for La Guayra (now La Guaira?), we have elected to used the closest coastal station to this location and have estimated the habitat elevation based primarily on supposition on our part. Therefore, the resulting climate table and cultural suggestions should be used with a great deal of caution.
