Default Colchisine on Orchids ?

I had some advanced placement high school kid in my greenhouse the other day
who was telling me about taking orchid pollen and using some chemical,
(orzalin?), to double the chromosome count and injecting it into empty egg
cells to produce plants... He said he could teach me how it was done.... I
said, "yea, when space aliens live among us..."
