Hi everybody,

How are you? I’m new to Orchids Online but have been involved in the hobby for some 13years since I was a teenager. I have grown a few different species of Orchid but my favourites are the Sarcochilus spp – mainly due to the fact that I have never had a glasshouse to grow the warmer climate orchid species. I’m a microbiologist by trade and, again since I was young, have had a keen interest in in-vitro culture of Orchids. That being the case I am interested in obtaining any unwanted seed pods that people may have. The seed pods need to be green and in good condition – they also need to be from known parents. I am not endeavouring in anyway to profit from these I simply want to grow in my knowledge and experience in the in-vitro culture aspects of Orchid culture. I also feel it would be a unique way to increase my personal collection with unique crosses and species that I may otherwise have not come across. I’m also more than happy to return some of the plants to the one who provided me with the pod and also swap amongst fellow orchid enthusiasts. In the future I would also be available to culture your seed pods at minimal cost to cover materials etc with me returning 100% of resultant plants.

If you have any pods that you don’t know what to do with I’d be more than happy to hear from you…

Kind regards and thanks
