Flask Information
Availability: We have approximately 150 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: 430 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/20/2022 through 03/08/2023)
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 01/20/2022 through 10/21/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 80 mm (10/21/2023)
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: This extremely widespread terrestrial orchid is found from southern Florida, through the Caribbean Islands, and from southern Mexico through Central America, as well as almost all of northeastern South America, including all of the northern countries with distribution extending southward to São Paulo Brazil and westward to the eastern foothills of the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, as well as all of Paraguay, and extreme northeastern Argentina. In Florida, plants are common in road-side ditches, but may be found in almost any type of damp habitat from dark swamps to sunlit moist pastures. Pants in shaded locations seem to bloom less than those growing in bright light, however. In Guatemala, plants are found in a variety of habitats at elevations up to 3300 ft. (1000 m). In Panama, plants are found in areas of wet savannas and along roadways from near sea level to about 1950 ft. (600 m). Distribution extends into west central Africa, with plants reported from swamps and wet grasslands at 3750-4250 ft. (1150-1300 m) in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
