Flask Information
Availability: The seeds have germinated in the mother flasks.
You should: Reserve flasks right now.
Please only reserve if you are committing to purchase the flasks when they are ready later.

We only make flasks for people who request them, so you must make a reservation for us to do the work. If you don't reserve now, there will likely not be enough flasks made to cover your later need. If you wait to reserve until after we begin reflasking into final maturing flasks, then you will lose your place in line. Otherwise, your original notification request acts as your place-holder, keeping you earlier in line.
Yield Estimate: 300 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/31/2023 through 10/01/2023)
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.
Expected Flask Price: $40.00 per flask of 25 (min.) plants

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and Vietnam. In Sri Lanka, this orchid is said to be rather common, growing on trees in the tropical wet evergreen forests at 3000-4500 ft. (915-1370 m). Plants are reported to be common throughout Taiwan where they grow in forests at 1650-3300 ft. (500-1000 m). In Vietnam, this creeping, lithophytic, or occasionally epiphytic, orchid is found in Cao Bang Province at several locations near Thang Heng Lake. It is common and locally abundant, especially along ridge tops. Plants grow on limestone outcrops and cliffs in primary, broad-leaved, evergreen and mixed forests at 1800-2950 ft. (550-900 m).
