That would be nice but it’s been a sec so not sure any more are gonna pop. No sweat on the encyclia! I crossed these back on Oct. 2 so should be ready in the spring.

Phal protocorns still plugging. Starting to see some leaf development. Will likely replate next month.

Well if they don't make it, there will be more in a year or so I'm sure... these seem to get knocked up pretty regularly.

I sowed these plates a lot thicker…3 plates per capsule with each plate getting 5ml of seed solution. They are covered! The large waxy-looking chunks are masses of seeds…shake as I might, they just didn’t want to break up. I might scoop them out at some point but really didn’t want to fiddle with it at the time. The seeds look nice and plump through the loop so hopefully they have some good viability.

The Orange Cattleya, Orange Guarianthe aurantiaca are looking great! Seeds are swelling and chlorophyll development is beginning.

Additionally, just crossed Fdk. Frank Smith with Ctsm. Dapper Dots.

Just plated up some Inobulbum munificum (thanks R!). A spike with 3 capsules had been knocked off of the plant by a cat and were, I believe, only 5 months old (please correct me if I’m wrong, Roberta). Per Roberta’s suggestion, I stuck the spike in water and let it go for another month. The capsules were starting to crenate so I figured I better get them going. One was compromised with rot and another ended up getting completely soaked with bleach water inside when sanitizing due to an unseen hole, so only used 1 capsule. The seeds looked pretty dry upon opening but looked awesome under the loop with nice fat creamy yellow embryos. Made 6 plates sowed crazy densely.

Glad that the plant gave an "insurance policy" with the 3 capsules! You're right on their age. It looks really promising!

No doubt! I probably could have salvaged the other 2 but this was a ton of seed. Also, it would appear that the orange catts are getting ready to explode!

Good call on the Inobulbon. Once they start growing, not small plants. You're going to have fun finding room for all those babies!
