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: 270 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/28/2009 through 02/03/2010)
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 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/28/2010 through 07/12/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 25 mm (07/12/2010)

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: This widespread species is distributed from the Aleutian Islands across most of mainland Alaska and down the Pacific Coast to near San Francisco, California. Distribution covers the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, with fingers of distribution in the higher elevations extending southward in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to southern California and the Rocky Mountains through western Montana, Wyoming, western Colorado, and northern Arizona. From the northwest, the southern boundary of distribution extends eastward across southern Canada and then dips southeastward across northeastward Minnesota and across the northern Great Lakes region before moving northeastward across New York and the New England states. The northern boundary of distribution extends north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska almost to the Arctic Coast in Canada's Northwest Territories and then dips southeastward to the southern end of Hudson Bay where it curves northeastward to southern Labrador and Newfoundland. In Europe, plants have been found in scattered locations in Ireland and the Hebrides. Throughout its range, plants are found in a variety of habitats from bogs to deep sphagnum to heath and tundra, to rich, open woodlands. Plants reportedly grow full sun on damp to wet, acidic substrates in peat bogs and coastal marshes. In Oregon, plants may be found from near sea level to about 9850 ft. (3000 m), growing in full sun along coastal grasslands and cliffs as well as in wet meadows that dry by late summer and along streams and bogs in the mountains.
