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: 107 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/15/2014 through 05/21/2015)
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 50 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/18/2015 through 07/29/2015)
From one most recently surveyed flask 60 - 80 mm (07/29/2015)

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: Mexico southward through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica to northern Panama. It is the most widely distributed of any of the Barkeria species. Throughout its range, plants grow at 1650-5600 ft. (500-1700 m). In Mexico, they are found in the States of Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco, México, Michocán, Morelos, and Oaxaca. They usually grow on trees along canyon streams, but plants are reported to adapt to trees and shrubs along city streets. In Central America, plants are reported in hillside pastures with low growth, on low hills with scattered trees, and on rocky hillsides.
