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: 1093 plants (based on flask surveys done 02/19/2014 through 09/24/2015)
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 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/23/2014 through 06/08/2016)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 70 mm (06/08/2016)

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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. Plants grow in coastal mountains on ridges lying near and parallel to the coast from the state of Santa Catarina northward through the states of Parana, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. After a brief interruption, plants are found further to the east in the Organ Mountains and then to the north in the coastal mountains of Espirito Santo. Within this region, the habitat may be discontinuous for miles in some localities, but it ultimately re-appears with plants almost always growing on seaward-facing slopes in a band some 2-3 mi. (3–5 km) wide at elevations of 2000–3000 ft. (610–910 m). The moist, southeast tradewinds in this region are lifted along the face of the coastal mountains and condense into clouds and fog with fine mistlike rain. These conditions occur almost daily after 4 p. m. and continue through the night, even during the dry season. Because of this, the habitat is very moist with moss covering everything. The average trees in these moist forests are 15–50 ft. (5–15 m) long and 4–12 in. (10–30 cm) in diameter. Sophronitis coccinea grows on these moss-enshrouded saplings and small trees from near the ground to almost the top.
