That sounds like a heck of a lot more fun than sending the pod out and having to deal with the post partum shock these babies have when they come out of the flask.

There was an article about some spilled seed onto moss covered benches, where the plantlets on the bench grew much more vigorously than the plantlets in flask from the same seed pod. Not only did the flask plants grow slower while in the flask, but they grew much more slow for the first 2 or 3 years out of the flask than the equivalently sized plants on the bench. Needless to say, the bench plants bloomed long before the flask plants. Wish I had moss growing on the wooden parts of my benches, but my humidity is too low in my GH to support it. Can't grow Spanish moss either.
