eulophia graminea seed pod for trade
Hi,
I'm from Singapore and I've got a seed pod on my eulophia graminea. It's pollinated by an insect. Anybody wants this seed pod? I'm looking for paph or phal speices flask. Pls contact me at . I'll post a pic of the seed pod later on. I'll send the dry seeds to you. Or in anyway that you want me to. The flask that you send to me need not be flask with many plants, it can be one of those small tubes with one or two plants inside. Here's a pic of my plants http://forum.theorchidsource.com/thread.asp?m=119911. Hope someone is willing to trade with me. Jonathan |

Jonathan,
Unless you know this insect personally and where exactly he/she/it obtained the pollen used to pollinate your plant's flower I would be hesitant to hope a breeder (ie an ethical breeder) would be interested in your pod. It "might" be a selfing, or a sib cross, or a who-knows-what hybrid. The risk in getting a dud hybrid is often not worth the investment of time & effort over several years waiting for the offspring to bloom out and to confirm it is a pure species grex in order to make an honest sale of the plants to re-coup the breeder's investment.

Hi,
It's sure to be a selfing. There aren't any other orchids around that area. That's the only eulophia species I have growing in my garden. Jonathan "Mick Fournier" wrote in message .. .

Jonathan,
Good... sorta... that is, if it isn't an intergeneric hybrid. You might find someone now to take it off your hands. I am not too keen on selfings anymore. If I get 200 viable plants out of a selfing pod I think I have done well. Most of the time selfings only produce runts and protocorm that never differentiates into anything worth growing out. I like sib crosses of species better. Mick "Jonathan Phua" wrote in message ... Hi, It's sure to be a selfing. There aren't any other orchids around that area.
