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: 1420 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/02/2004 through 02/25/2011)
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 4 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/22/2004 through 08/30/2011)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (08/30/2011)

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: Colombia. These plants were originally found growing on rocks at about 5250 ft. (1600 m) in the Río Cabrera Valley in the Department of Cundinamarca. Plants, which were also growing on bare rocks, have since been collected near Pasto in southwest Colombia, not far from the Ecuadorian border.
