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: 308 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/15/2010 through 06/15/2011)
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 55 - 110 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/28/2011 through 11/22/2011)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 100 mm (11/22/2011)

This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. In Mexico, plants are found in the States of Nayarit (near Tepic) and Oaxaca (north of Tehuantepec) below 1000 ft. (300 m) in low coastal areas on the trunks of palm trees. In Belize, plants are fairly common in the Belize, Cayo, Stann Creek, and Toledo Districts, where they usually grow on palms and palmettos. In Guatemala, plants grow on palm trees, in pine-covered land, and open forests at 2600 ft. (800 m) or less, but specific habitat location was not given. In Honduras, plants are found in the lower mountains near Tegucigalpa and near the Guatemalan border. In Nicaragua, collections are reported at 3700 ft. (1125 m) near San Fernando in the Department of Nueva Segovia and in the mountains east of Santa Maria de Ostumas in the Department of Matagalpa. In Costa Rica and Panama, plants are found in the Caribbean lowlands. In Panama, plants grow in swamps near Shepherd Island in the vicinity of Chiriquí Lagoon in Bocas del Toro Province.
