By request - re-posting "Seed-sewing from scratch (my first try)"

[Orchid Whisperer]

I started into an experiment last year to try my hand at growing orchids from seed. I have been posting my results over on the Orchidgeeks forum for a while, but a member here (Island Girl) suggested I might want to re-post on Orchid Board.

Since some of what I posted there will be out of context here (references to names of Orchidgeeks members, for example), I will try to edit & re-post, post-by-post, so that it makes sense. Hope some may find this interesting!
