Seed pods available: Den. kingianum 'Sanbar Stripes'
 

I found 4 seed pods on my Den. kingianum 'Sanbar Stripes' today. One is small but the others are large and fat. I have other kingies that have been blooming, so there is no telling what the pollen parent is. Anyone interested in having me harvest and mail these pods?

They look like this--sorry for the blurry pic.

I'll give you a bump. But I am no where near ready to try this. Even though it sounds fun.

It's not for me, either. Last time it happened I gave them to an orchid friend who wanted to try, though, so I thought I'd offer.

And did the friend have success? I keep think maybe one day.

It's odd--I don't really know. It was on another forum--Orchidgeeks. She bought a lot of flasks from Troy Myers and enjoyed raising the babies, so she wanted to try the beginning of the process too. She has since kind of dropped out of sight, so I don't know if she got actual plants or not.

Actually, I believe you can send seed to Meyers Conservatory and have him flask for you. Maybe that is what she did.

I'll bet she did. I've heard that name before. Someone on here had an orchid he was flasking and it looked like a Massd but was something else. I wrote it down but like all my other writings it is some where in my house on a piece of paper.

I'm interested in a seed pod if you still have some.

Yay! Sending you a PM.

I would also like to try it to if you still have pods available.

Cntry, you may have two of the 4 pods. I'm sending you a PM.
