These were only 4 in the pot so getting a few more in good. Hopefully I can get them to grow well this year. One of the new pots will be headed to ANOS WA this coming Tuesday.

I’m often asked about the seed that lands on the side on the flask: this clump is 5cm above the media surface. When the protocorm in big enough, a tap on the desk will help it fall down onto the rest of the batch.
This photo, though not clear, shows how much seed in this batch is viable. The ones that are green are germinating. The rest are either dormant or not viable. They may germinate next year.

Not the number of germinations I would like, but this should be a lovely cross of Den. spec (‘Waynes pick’ x ‘Mt L.G.’) ...

More re-plates today. This should be a love mix between a lovely gold and a pink-yellow. The first good flasks will go to Zel whose plants were used.
