I know it has been a while for this post but I have had a seed capsule since early feb and ask mysrlf everyday is it ready yet. Your Odont looks just like the one that I pollinated. Now I know about how much longer I will have to wait. I have had my flasks ready for a month now and I see no contamination. I have done quite a bit of micro work in the past so I was very careful on keeping things clean althugh I did not do this in a home made glove box or LFH. I plan on using a tote to flask just to try to avoid any outside contamination during times where things may be exposed Thank you for posting this has given me a good time frame.

Very cool! Yeah, I think 7-10 months is what I’ve seen for odontoglossum capsules, iirc. Just keep an eye out for yellowing…usually a good indicator that it’s ready to dehisce. If you don’t have a LFH, an upside down Rubbermaid or similar tote with holes cut in it makes a great still air box for sterile work. Crummy pic and currently used for storage but you get the idea:

Ooh…that would be cool! Can you send just the seed? Might be cheaper/easier than sending capsules across the pond. Could be put in a letter that way.

Oh, this is soooo much cleverer than my makeshift plastic bag and frame when I was experimenting with flasking! Love it.
