flasking – third set
Dec 20, 2009 Orchid Propagation
This was a fairly large group of flasks. I made 12 this time. I used 15 drops of peroxide (a little more than last time). There were 2 of each of the following: encyclia cochleata, dendrobium draconis, dendrobium aggregatum, dendrobium unicum, encyclia alata and encyclia parviflora. The last two were in baby food jars and the rest were in the mason jars. I got the microscope out today and looked at the seeds to see if they had embryos (that is supposed to mean they are viable seeds if they have it). Anyhow, here is a photo of one of the varieties. It looks pretty good. You can see the embryo. It is the dark green area.
