Yeah good point, never thought of it like that. The dutch guys don't pay tax on greenhouse heating fuel though so they cheat! heheh
I dont know that orchid, it looks alot like dendrobium (which i thought it was until i saw the link for them)
Is this war of the orchid flower pictures? If so you win i'm nearly out! lol
Silk Floss Tree seeds
Hey Dale, did you get those seeds i ordered for you yet?
Mike
Mike, I plant seeds all the time. My germination rate is the problem.
I order a lot of seed from Silverhill in S.Africa. Mostly summer growing bulbs and winter herbaceous flowers. Most of the time some species make it. I would guess that I have about a 60% success rate, not a sterling performance. I don't have the equipment you have access to, I just toss them into a pot of good soil. I have a great success with cuttings.
What is the country of origin of the seed?
Mike, Thanks!
I got a catalog in the mail from Chiltern's with a note inside saying they had sent a order to the shipping dept and that some day, in the future, I would get seeds.
I think it is interesting that they could get me the catalog in a few days, but, no seeds yet. Priorities in some businesses are odd.
heheh. I got a catolougue before i got the order confirmed!.
Sounds like there more interested in the next order allready.
It did entice me to make a list though. But i have no more room for seeds. I have nearly sowed all my colections this spring so lots of pricking out to do.
Mike
P.s i dont see an orchid! lol
I'll let you come and prune my silk floss tree if they come up! lol
Seriously. no worries
Mike
