Can someone please explain just what is meant by 'flask' Is this the
same as buying other plants in tubes??

I'm slowly being sucked in by all this growing things and life will
never be the same

A picture is worth a lot of words so here's a picture for referance only
This link has a picture of a true flask However a mason jar, babyfood jar,
and asortment of other containers can also be called a flasks.

Wow! it's like its own little growing environment and certainly contains
more than any normal plant tube.
I presume orchids are done this way to keep them in a contained
environment?

Thanks for that.
