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: 10 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/12/2004 )
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 30 - 40 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/26/2004 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 40 mm (10/26/2004)

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: Southern Florida through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, the West Indies, and South America southward to Peru and Paraguay. In Belize, plants are found in swampy woodlands below 350 ft. (100 m). In Guatemala, plants are reported to be rather common in the moist, rich soil of woods and swamps at elevations up to 4900 ft. (1500 m), with collections reported near Cobán in the department of Alta Verapaz and on Cerro Tixixí in the department of Chiquimula. In Nicaragua, plants have been seen in the department of Matagalpa along the road to Aranjuez at 4600 ft. (1400 m) and in the department of Jinotega on the north slope of Volcano Yalf at 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). Although reported as occurring in Panama and southward to Peru and Paraguay, we have been unable to find any specific information on the habitat location and elevation in those regions.
