| 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: |
310 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/23/2007 through 06/12/2008)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 15 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 04/09/2008 through 11/24/2008)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 100 mm (11/24/2008)

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: Western North America, with the area of distribution
extending from just north of the Canadian border in British Colombia to
the Pacific coast in the west and the Rocky Mountains in the east. The
range and then extends southward to include Washington, Oregon, most of
California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, the western parts of Montana,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, with the habitat continuing
southward into the mountains of northern Mexico. Plants are found from
near sea level along the coast to about 8000 ft. (2440 m). They are found
in areas where there is a constant supply of water, such as along seepage
banks and around springs, and are often found along the banks of streams,
on sand and gravel bars where they are inundated during high water, and
may even be found anchored in stream beds. In the colder, more northern
regions or high elevation habitats, plants are often found around hot
springs. This orchid is neither rare or common, but where conditions are
suitable, it may be abundant and found in very large colonies.
