A friend in Tokyo recently sent me a batch of seeds, and included a few bulblets

the top from the bottom. He told me to plant them on the surface of moist soil,
but not push them in or cover them. He sent this photo of the mother plant,
with various sizes of smaller plants around it, including some of the green
bulblets.

Reminds me of one of the Bulbophyllum orchids.

You did have the proper import permits for this, right?
And your friend had the export permits?
