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: 3 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/18/2002 )
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 15 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/13/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 20 mm (02/13/2003)

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: Widespread across much of North America. Distribution extends from extreme eastern Alaska along the border with the Yukon Territories of western Canada with the northern limit arcing southeastward across Canada to Quebec and Newfoundland. Distribution extends southward into southeast Alaska and then southward through British Colombia, with a finger of habitat extending into eastern Washington and Oregon and northern Idaho in the Pacific Northwest. The southern boundary of distribution then follows fairly closely along the U. S. Canadian border to North Dakota where it moves abruptly southward into Texas and Louisiana where it then curves northeastward through the southern and eastern states and the eastern provinces of Canada to Newfoundland. There is an isolated area of habitat in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Plants are found in woods where they grow in partial shade in well drained but heavy, damp, humus-rich soils. They may also be found on rocky hillsides, along streams, in meadows and clearings, in shallow depressions in peaty soil on treeless limestone barrens, and in talus of limestone cliffs. Plants seem to thrive in limestone areas, but the soils usually are neutral to slightly acidic. Habitat elevation throughout the range varies from near sea level to as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m).
