Little Plants
Dec 18, 2009 Orchid Propagation
I checked on the flasks today. I could see little plants forming. They sure are tiny. Anyhow, it looks like the encyclia oncidioides, encyclia parviflora, brassavola cucullata and the brassavola nadosa all are starting to germinate. The only bad thing is that one of the brassavola cucullata flasks has some contamination. It looks like it started around the seeds, so the seeds probably weren’t disinfected enough (I will try a little more peroxide next time).

OSP seeds arrive
Oct 6, 2009 Orchid Propagation
I ordered some seeds from the Orchid Seedbank Project last week. They arrived yesterday. I ordered the following: brassavola nadosa, brassavola cucullata, encyclia parviflora, encyclia oncidioides, encyclia alata and encyclia cochleata. I am waiting on my other supplies, so I won’t be able to flask these up for a couple weeks.

I also ordered some seeds last week from Thailand (through ebay). I am not sure if that will work out or not, but I figured it was worth a try. I ordered the following: dendrobium unicum, dendrobium draconis, dendrobium secundum and dendrobium aggregatum (lindleyi). I will let you know how that turns out.
