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: 12 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/15/2023 )
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: $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: Western North America, with the area of distribution extending from just north of the Canadian border in British Colombia to the Pacific coast in the west and the Rocky Mountains in the east. The range and then extends southward to include Washington, Oregon, most of California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, the western parts of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, with the habitat continuing southward into the mountains of northern Mexico. Plants are found from near sea level along the coast to about 8000 ft. (2440 m). They are found in areas where there is a constant supply of water, such as along seepage banks and around springs, and are often found along the banks of streams, on sand and gravel bars where they are inundated during high water, and may even be found anchored in stream beds. In the colder, more northern regions or high elevation habitats, plants are often found around hot springs. This orchid is neither rare or common, but where conditions are suitable, it may be abundant and found in very large colonies.
