I don't think I'm ready for one of these plants yet, but as it happens I think the climate here in the San Francisco bay area may actually be suitable for them. I'm very interested in learning more, especially about Thelymitra, and I'd like to follow the progress of the plants from such a group order. Exciting stuff!
If a person were able to keep orchids of this type, would there be any point in trying to pollinate them and produce more seeds? Even if we can't propagate them ourselves successfully, is there a way to contribute to the maintenance/availability of these species?
...And I'm curious, would it be possible or of any help to the grown plants to get a bucket of Australian dirt that had the proper native fungi in it?
