Pollen exchange / Seed exchange - Orchid Board

Any hybridizers or breeders looking for seed or pollen? I have an ad in the classified section. If you have any needs, requests, or offers feel free to post them here.

I'm looking for pollen from quality or awarded Cattleya alliance plants. I have some to trade, and lots of seed to either trade of just share. Thanks,

Jasen, you can have pollen from whatever I post that you like.

(even though there's a good chance the plant came from you in the first place!)

Treefrog, This is exactly what I'm talking about. Let's use this thread as a kind of bulletin board for people on the hunt for seed or pollen. I'm wary about international shipping of any plant material, but anyone anywhere could make a possible connection.

Jasen, I've got some species seed coming. That Enc. polybulbon 'Golden Gate' got selfed, and the Enc. bractescens, and the Phal equestris, and the Dend crumentatum, and the...

I still have a bunch of those pitcher plant seeds, also.

I believe shipping orchid seeds is legal internationally without paperwork.

I have a Zygostates lunata in spike that should bloom soon. It is a mini and I'm not really sure what the pollen looks like, but if you want to send me some instructions on preserving it for shipping, I am happy to share some.

I like sharing and I wasn't planning on selfing this one this year.

Hi Melissa,

I'm not too familiar with that one, but someone out there might be searching high and low for Zygostates pollen. It's generous of you to offer.

Just FYI, pollen is pretty easy to store for use later. I just cut a little square of paper towel, fold it in and label it, and store it in a zip-top baggie in the crisper drawer of my fridge. It can keep for months, maybe more.
