| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have approximately 90 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: |
618 plants (based on flask surveys done 04/20/2022 through 06/19/2023)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/11/2022 through 08/27/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 50 mm (08/27/2023)
|
| Expected Flask Price: |
$40.00 per flask of 16 (min.) plants
Plants proliferate if crowded, so are planted more sparsely than usual.

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, and Honduras. In Mexico, plants are
found in the mountains on the Gulf of Mexico side of the country in the
states of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Querétaro,
Puebla, Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. They normally grow in warm oak
forests with tropical deciduous trees at 3950–5250 ft. (1200–1600 m). The
habitat is varied, however, and plants may grow somewhat higher or lower
in cooler or hotter climates in both shady and sunny locations. The varied
habitat indicates an adaptability that explains why plants are usually
considered easy to cultivate. On the Pacific side of the mountains, plants
are found in the state of Oaxaca and possibly in Guerrero and Jalisco as
well. They are most often found in oak trees in humid forests at 5250–5900
ft. (1600–1800 m), but they occasionally grow on rocks. This species is
also reported in Guatemala and Honduras, but we found no information about
habitat location and elevation in these countries.
