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:
82 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/08/2005 ) 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 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/03/2006 through 05/19/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (05/19/2006)
