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: 600 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/05/2007 through 06/19/2009)
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 - 100 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/20/2008 through 06/19/2009)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 100 mm (06/19/2009)

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: The United States. The area of distribution extends eastward from east Texas, southern Arkansas, northward just west of the Mississippi River to southern Canada and includes the entire region east of the Mississippi from Florida to southeastern Canada, including Newfoundland. In the north, plants are found in sunny marshes and bogs where the small corm is buried rather shallowly in the moist, rich, acid soil or moss. In the south, plants may be found in pinelands with the corm buried rather deeply in sandy soil.
