Growing Neofinetia falcata from seed
Never really had an inkling to to try to grow orchids from seed. Had heard how hard it was, how long it takes, and the success rate being low. Had read about people sending off seed pods to labs for flasking, with better results, but then having mixed results. With a few getting them to bloom. Seemed like it would be much simpler to just bye small established plants and not have to go though the process. Until last July when our Neofinetia falcata was pollenated and purduced about 15 seed pods.
It started to bloom about the middle of June (photo 1)
Seed pods started to show up about one month later (photo 2 taken July 14)
