Thats awsome Jasen. Photos are cool, the "secret formula" tips are even cooler! But what really makes me smile is to see the OB connecting all these seed capsules with the flaskers.

The OB rocks!

Ahaa! There's the Bowri-Albida picture, I was wondering when you were gonna post pics of that. I was going to photograph mine today. Did you start a thread for it, or is it just on your avatar?

Here is a picture of the parent plant. I do have a question about natural pollination. If a Den. becomes pollinated, is it from a different plant or do they self pollinate? If it is pollinated by another, will that change the look of the flower? If so I don't know what the seedlings will look like.

Hey, there he is....hello Dave. Do you remember if any other Dendrobs. were in bloom at the time? Even if it was self-pollinated, the seedlings could still vary. That parent looks a lot like my Den. Botan, which is in spike right now. Let me know if you want some of these seedlings, Dave.

Hi Jasen, Great Job!. Yes I had several different flowering Dens at the time. Anyway that makes it interesting.

Here I am, slow on the uptake as usual.

I'm guessing you found the "Laelianthe Bowri-Albida" thread by now. It's so photogenic, I had to make it my avatar for a while.

Jasen, I'm going to make up a batch of flasks tonight using the "Curry method". Your seedlings look awesome. Blooming them in vitro is just insane!
