You can also buy flasks from Meyers Conservatory.
There you are in effect buying from the lab. Most of their flasks are $40 (flasks with 16--25 seedlings). BUT:
- The seed is donated by many growers (mostly hobby growers). Thus, you have no assurance that the pod & pollen plants were of high quality.
- The one time I bought from Meyers, they deflasked prior to shipment (instead of sending me the flask intact). The seedlings were too small (I would have left them to grow on in the flask).
