I've never flasked. I used mix of cardboard which had been soaked in rainwater, some lfs and perlite along with a bit of soil I collected from the root zone of a colony of G. pubescens that lives near my house. Which is where the seeds came from, as I was trying to germinate some Thelymitra which didn't work out.
