Bletilla striata seed sowing- El Naturel

[Call_Me_Bob]

This year my Bletilla striata v. alba did wonderfully so I decided to self it. I ended up with three beautiful pods. Well since I only need about 15 million seeds, I figured that I could experiment with the other 5 millions. So I sprinkled them into the Habenaria repens terrarium I set up, and forgot about them. You can see more about the details of the setup here, Habenaria repens mini terrarium setup

Anyways fast forward to a few days ago and I notices some odd green things, turns out that the seed took and I have protocorms! Take a look!!
