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: 500 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/19/2004 through 01/04/2005)
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 20 - 45 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 07/07/2005 through 08/09/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 45 mm (08/09/2005)

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Jamaica. Plants grow near Negril on the extreme west-southwestern tip of the island. They are found on a ridge known as Negril Hill, which is about 10 mi. (16 km) long and rises to about 500 ft. (150 m). Plants often grow on rocks or the forest floor in leaf mold.
