Flasks, tubes, jars, plastic containers, canning vessels, etc. are all work in
pretty much the same way. The only difference is the shape and amount of
light that is allowed for the seed to develop into a protocorm. In absence of
light the plants in the container will develop phototropism, bending and
twisting to account for the lack of light.

Although we have a few different species in flask available at nominal cost,
there are many other flaskers out there, including Mick and Aaron with a much
better selection.
