Mother flasks for saleWe are pleased to offer the following selection of cymbidium seedlings in flask. All flasks will be replated to order and will be ready to unflask approximately 6 to 8 months after we receive your order. They are normally replated in the fall starting in October and are usually ready to be removed in spring, typically from April to late May. All cymbidium flasks contain a minimum of 35 plants in quart bottles, with an average of 40. Zygopetalum crosses contain a minimum of 25 plants in pint bottles with an average of 30 - 35. The number of replates available from any cross is limited. We recommend that flasks be ordered in fall and early winter so the plants are ready to deflask in spring to early summer. We have the best success with plants when deflasked from April to June, and lower rates of survival for those deflasked in late summer, fall and winter, since the plants are much more susceptable to fungal diseases during that time under our growing conditions. The first line contains our file number and name of the hybrid (if any). The second line is the names of the parents. The third line is the expected appearance of the flower. This list was modified on 11/9/2009 to add the new crosses available for replating in winter 2009 and 2010. Flasks are priced at $40.00 each, and a deposit of 30% of the total order is required to reserve flasks. Please feel free to print out our order form! This is the current listing, and supersedes all previous lists. |
