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: 458 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/23/2012 through 08/21/2013)
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 2 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/07/2012 through 06/07/2012)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 20 mm (06/07/2012)

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: Distributed from southern Florida, through Mexico and Central America, the West Indies, and into northern South America as far south as Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Plants grow mostly as epiphytes on trees and rocks, but occasionally may grow as terrestrials. They are found in both wet and dry regions, growing in tall, evergreen lowland forest, in open fields, and disturbed forests. Plants most frequently are found at elevations between 350 and 3300 ft. (100-1000 m), but collections have been reported from as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m). This widely distributed orchid has been collected many times, and a long list of collection locations, elevations, and dates is available at Tropicos.
