That's about what the seeds look like at this point in flask too. *I didn't
have any contamination and there is clear germination.


I had a Peristeria elata seed capsule blow in my greenhouse and had baby
orchids coming up everywhere, including from between the gravel on the
floor.

Today under the 10x magnifier I can see bunches of the seed turning a
granny smith green and looking like real plant material.


i must be treating the thing right, cuz my luidisa discolor has a seed
pod. *(i'm gonna be a grandma!) *based on y'all's various experiences on
here, i'm going to try and loosely bag the whole plant and stick some
damp sphag in the corners when the pod starts to turn brown, and maybe
i'll get something other than a mess. *
