| You can do it for kicks and in 4-5 yrs when the babies bloom for the first time you'll know if it was a selfing or not. Its not that expensive to flask them. I've got a dozen orchids right now and Ive got a pod that'll be ready in june/july to send for flasking. If I get enough viable seed from the single pod I'll have two flasks made up. In all, it'll cost me $50. I will only order two for the lack of space since I dont have a greenhouse either. Our orchid addictions inevitably end in this direction. It's a learning experience to say the least. |
