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: 23 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/15/2011 )
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 3 - 10 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/15/2011 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 3 - 10 mm (06/15/2011)

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: Southeastern United States and northeastern Mexico. In the United States, this orchid has been found throughout most of Florida north of a line from Tampa to Palm Beach. Distribution continues northward near the Atlantic Coast as far as North Carolina and westward near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico through Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, reaching almost to the Texas border. Plants commonly grow high on the large limbs of deciduous trees, and very large colonies frequently occur. In the habitat, however, plants frequently are quite inconspicuous and difficult to find even when in full flower as they often grow among ferns. The variety mexicanum is found in Mexico and was originally reported from the state of Morelos. Since that time, plants have not been found south of the state of San Luis Potosí in spite of intensive searching, but collections have been made in the states of Nuevo Léon, Tamaulipas, and San Luis Potosí. The Mexican plants mostly grow as epiphytes in open oak forests at 3300-4600 ft. (1000-1400 m), but they are occasionally found growing as lithophytes.
