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. |

420 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/15/2006 through 01/04/2008)

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: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
In Nicaragua, plants grow on trees in dry hilly pastures and in roadside
forests. Near Matagalpa and Managua they have been found at 1950-3300 ft.
(600-1000 m). In Mexico, plants grow on trees on protected hillsides and
in stream-valleys at 1000-3600 ft. (300-1100 m) on Pacific-facing slopes.
The habitat extends from the State of Sinaloa southward to the border with
Guatemala. Plants are also reported on the Revillagigedo Islands, which
are located about 450 mi. (725 km) off the coast of the State of Colima.
