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: |
90 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/28/2010 )
|
Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/02/2011 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 10 - 30 mm (08/02/2011)

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: Peru. The location and type of habitat were not reported
with the original description, but later writings indicate that plants are
found at 7850-9200 ft. (2400-2800 m). Because the habitat location is
uncertain, the following climate data and resulting cultural
recommendations should be used with caution.
