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. |

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. This orchid was originally
found in the Amazonas region where it grows on trees in forests on the
upper reaches of the Rio Negro near the border with southwest Venezuela.
Plants have since been found in the department of Amazonas in northern
Peru, growing near Bagua on the upper Río Marañon and near La Peca between
the Marañon and Utcubamba rivers at about 3950 ft. (1200 m). Plants have
also been found in the neighboring department of San Martín. In Boliva,
plants have been found near Chiquitos and near Velasco on the Río Paraguá
in the department of Santa Cruz.
