Hi:

I have a developing cyp kentukience capsule, which i wanted to put
into culture before the seeds matured, to avoid dormancy problems.
What is the optimum time of harvest of the pod from the time of
pollination?

thanks

I've learned from friends around the world who sow Cypripedium seed
the harvest time normally used to avoid dormancy when sowing
Cyp. kentuckiense seed is 56 days from time of pollination.

Good luck with your seed.

You know, I remembered someone asking this, but didn't remember
WHERE until I saw Kip's reply. Kip has it correct- I asked one of my
colleagues, and he advised 60 days.

Do not send e-mail to the address in the header. Doesn't work.

Thanks aaron and kip....i did sow the seed on cypripedium media from
phytotech. However i think the pod is over 60 days old( pollinated
sometime in May!!??). Lets see what happens.

Hi Giulio,

I am happy to say that several of your species germinated well including;

Orchis fragrans v. coriophora
Orchis papilionacea
Ophrys bombifolia
Ophrys fusca
Ophrys sphegodes
Ophrys tenthredinifera

Thank you again, and good luck with your new wife. I hope she likes
orchids too?

Happy to hear this

remember that they want a warm, dry rest in summer. Ophrys bombiliflora
and fusca require winter with minimum temps just above freezing, while
other can go some degree below.

I hope she likes orchids too?

So and so

Giulio
