Flasks, tubes, jars, plastic containers, canning vessels, etc. are all
work in
pretty much the same way. The only difference is the shape and amount of
light that is allowed for the seed to develop into a protocorm. In
absence of
light the plants in the container will develop phototropism, bending and
twisting to account for the lack of light.

Although we have a few different species in flask available at nominal
cost,
there are many other flaskers out there, including Mick and Aaron with a
much
better selection.

I have only one problem with buying plants and seed from over seas - The
Australian Government don't allow it.
We are not permitted to bring in kind of 'living' material and there are
very heavy fines for doing so. :-(
So we have to be content with 'local' produce. Do other countries have
these restrictions?

We are not even permitted to take plants from the mainland of Australia to
Tasmania, [which is still Australian territory]
although we can do the reverse, nor are we allowed to take fruit between
certain states.


Are there many posters here from Oz, or is everyone mainly from USA?
