What do you use an an orchid flask.

It's SUPER to see someone so young on the Board! I myself have just turned 15 this summer, and have learned TONS from the REALLY friendly people on the Board! I am sure there is a lot of people on the Board who do their own flasking, so you should be able to get a lot of info from them. I do know that you can sprinkle some of the seeds on and around the roots of the mother because in nature there is a special fungus that invades the seed and provides it nutrients and protection for it to grow. That fungus might just be growing on the mother's roots! But you might know that, so, I guess this is just an encouragement! I myself am interested in hybridizing orchids and am very interested in the Brassavola alliance! I am hoping to get B. nodosa, flagelleris, gluaca, perinii,and reginae come spring! Do your phals have names? If not, you won't be able to register it.

I already have Brassavola Nadosa, which I got for $2 at Lowe's. I mounted some of it and kept some in a pot. It is about to bloom, but I don't know how to pollinate something so small. The Phal that I do own is named but I don't want to create any hybrids until I learn a little more and now I can propagate seeds.
