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. |

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, state of Bahia. Plants are found on the coastal
plains to as far as 62 mi. (100 km) inland at elevations up to 1300 ft.
(0-400 m). The relatively small habitat starts southwest of Salvador and
extends northeastward. The greatest concentrations occur on the elevated
plateau bordering the drainage valleys of the Paraguacu River. Cattleya
aclandiae commonly grows 10-20 ft. (3-6 m) above the ground on trees with
very rough, rumpled bark. Plants grow on the upright trunks and in the
crotches of the limbs in areas close to permanent water.
Unfortunately, plants are difficult to find in nature due to over
collection and the destruction of habitat for agricultural purposes.
