Eulophia speciosa = the accidental success

[NIVENJ]

i collected a seed pod or two of eulophia speciosa some time back and put all the seed in a little container.... as a project on propagating seed for dummies....(part 1.)

a few months later upon doing a cleanup of the shade - house i accidentally dropped the container and the seed blew all over the show, as it was a very windy day....

totally un aware that a few months later i was pulling out these totally small ish weird looking weeds.... so i did some digging and found the bulbs hiding under the ground,,,, totally dumb struck as to what they were.....

Showed these funky bulbous weeds to a friend and was told that they were orchids......... then it hit me like a brick in the face ( the eulophia seed that blew all over)..........

so, pulled out everything i could find and well, they died..... so i went back to that garden where we had rented and found the most amazing sight......

Eulophia speciosa growing all over.... and flower spikes.......... this was just unreal........ so i relocated them as the owner was going to put concrete flooring down where they were growing.....

So, orchid propogating from seed for dummies ( part 1. ) was thus a great success......

now...... i gotta think about propogating orchids from seed for dummies (part 2.)

totally exiting stuff .....
