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: 540 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/14/2006 through 03/28/2007)
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 10 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/02/2007 through 08/20/2007)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (08/20/2007)

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: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends from the Hunter River in New South Wales to near the Tropic of Capricorn. Plants also occur in Carnarvon Gorge, about 280 mi. (50 km) inland at 25.0S. Plants often grow in areas with high humidity, strong air movement, and full sun for much of the day, but they are also found in more shaded areas. Plants are found in pockets of leaf-mold on rocks in open forests or on cliff faces between sea level and 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They are usually found on rocks but occasionally may also grow on trees.
