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: 60 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/24/2005 through 01/24/2006)
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 25 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/17/2006 through 04/14/2006)
From one most recently surveyed flask 25 - 50 mm (04/14/2006)

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: North America. The habitat extends southward from southeastern Ontario in Canada through New York along the eastern seaboard to northeastern North Carolina and then arcs westward through extreme northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi where it curves through the extreme northeastern corner of Arkansas and continues northward through Missouri, eastern Iowa to southeastern Minnesota. The northern limit of the range appears to be across southern Wisconsin eastward across the southern Great Lakes region and Pennsylvania and then back into southeastern Ontario. These plants reportedly were once found fairly frequently in the dense deciduous forests that blanketed most of its area of distribution. As the eastern forests have disappeared, however, so has Aplectrum hyemale until it is now found only rarely outside the wooded regions that still exist in the southern states.
