No. I have seven specimens three meters away that were unflasked in
august.

They are not growing, though. Damn and blast. Seems like I have killed

Well isn't the Ghost orchid [Polyrrhiza lindenii] a leafless species?
wouldn't it mean that the flower will emerge directly from the roots?
So "green spaghetti" is probably not such a bad thing after all .
