| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have approximately 60 plants in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests. |
| You should: |
Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list. |
| Yield Estimate: |
300 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/29/2022 through 09/23/2023)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 2 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/31/2021 through 08/27/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 80 mm (08/27/2023)
|
| Expected Flask Price: |
$40.00 per flask of 16 (min.) plants
Plants proliferate if crowded, so are planted more sparsely than usual.

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: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
In Nicaragua, plants grow on trees in dry hilly pastures and in roadside
forests. Near Matagalpa and Managua they have been found at 1950-3300 ft.
(600-1000 m). In Mexico, plants grow on trees on protected hillsides and
in stream-valleys at 1000-3600 ft. (300-1100 m) on Pacific-facing slopes.
The habitat extends from the State of Sinaloa southward to the border with
Guatemala. Plants are also reported on the Revillagigedo Islands, which
are located about 450 mi. (725 km) off the coast of the State of Colima.
