Silk Floss Tree seeds

Lincoln, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

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

Mike, No seeds in the post this week.

About the photo's-it's not a war, more of a spirited exchange.

Oh yeah - I am ahead, ha!

I guess i only ordered them a few days ago.
I know you say you don't do seeds but i guess just throw them under a plant you have in a pot like a coleus or something and 1 is bound to pop up!

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
