Flask Information
Availability: The seeds have germinated in the mother flasks.
You should: Reserve flasks right now.
Please only reserve if you are committing to purchase the flasks when they are ready later.

We only make flasks for people who request them, so you must make a reservation for us to do the work. If you don't reserve now, there will likely not be enough flasks made to cover your later need. If you wait to reserve until after we begin reflasking into final maturing flasks, then you will lose your place in line. Otherwise, your original notification request acts as your place-holder, keeping you earlier in line.
Yield Estimate: 250 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/08/2023 through 04/12/2023)
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.
Expected Flask Price: $43.75 per flask of 16 (min.) plants
Plants proliferate if crowded, so are planted more sparsely than usual, and require 2 or more years in flask so there is an additional charge (included) for materials and labor.

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: Venezuela. Plants grow at 2950-4900 ft. (900-1500 m) in the intermediate to cooler parts of the coastal mountains westward from the State of Anzoategui to the extreme eastern part of the Andes in the State of Lara. It reportedly grows in patches of cloud forest on the north-facing slopes, but in recent years, according to Dunsterville, it has been found primarily on the south-facing slopes where the forests that still exist are not true cloud forest.
