Flask Information
Availability: We have approximately 270 plants in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests.
You should: Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list.
Yield Estimate: 710 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/08/2021 through 05/05/2024)
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 2 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/08/2021 through 05/05/2024)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 80 mm (05/05/2024)
Expected Flask Price: $40.00 per flask of 25 (min.) plants

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, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. In Guatemala, plants are terrestrial on dry, grassy slopes among rocks or epiphytic in open mountain forests, usually at elevations below 1950 ft. (600 m). Collections were made near Secanquim in the Department of Alta Verapaz, and in Montaña del Mico near Izabal in the Department of Izabal. In Belize, plants are usually terrestrial in open grassy areas and in mountain and coastal pine ridge areas, often in dense grass growing among small bushes. Plants are rather common in the Cayo and Toledo Districts including the Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve. In Honduras, collections have been made near Tegucigalpa and Choluteca. In Nicaragua, where plants are frequently found growing on rocky slopes or on trees in wet forests. Plants have been collected in scattered locations in the Departments of Esteli, Chontales, and Zelaya from near sea level to 2700 ft. (0-825 m). In Costa Rica, plants grow in the Pacific lowlands. In Panama, O. ensatum is a rather common terrestrial species of the Pacific slope that often grows in low scrub in association with Peristeria elata and in open grassland. Collections have been made in the foothills east of Panama City at about 100 ft. (30 m). In the northern part of its range, this species is reported only on the Atlantic watershed; but in the south, it is found only on the Pacific slopes.
