| 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: |
500 plants (based on flask surveys done 03/25/2004 through 02/09/2005)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.2 - 90 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/06/2004 through 06/22/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 50 - 90 mm (06/22/2005)
