Flasking Services?

[suzyqhomemaker]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this, but is there a comprehensive list of companies that provide flasking services? I'm trying my hand at hand pollination and if it takes I'd like to know what my choices are as far as where to send the pods.

Thanks!

Did you pollinate a species or a hybrid ? What is the orchid you pollinated ? Some places do both or just specialize in species. Is why I asked.

I pollinated my phalaenopsis orchids. Does that help? I'm kind of new to the propagation of these ones. I can divide my dendrobiums like crazy but haven't ever tried reproducing my phals.

What kind of phals ? Species or hybrids? Do they have tags with names ? This will help identify them.

Unfortunately they were gifted to me without tags so I'm pretty sure they are big box NOIDs.

Hummm. Try and give Exasperatus2002 a pm and ask what flasking establishment he used or it may be in his thread step by step that is up in top 70 threads right now further down the list. He created a catt alliance hybrid. This both had name tags but the place he used for flasking may do it for you with out tags. See if you can get the web link from him or his thread and send that company an email asking if they would do flasking of seed for you of NoId Phal hybrid.

Thank you orchids4me. I used rockbridge Labs. How ever they are temporarily not accepting new seed pods at this time. I am extremely pleased with their services and when I make my next hybrid, I'll look to use their services again.

The other company I would recommend, which is famous for its species flasks but will do hybrids is Meyers conservatory. Heres the link-

Good luck

Thanks for the links! I'll see what I come up with.

Update!

I heard from troymeyers and I am (hopefully) in the process of setting up my seed donor account. So far it looks like I may have four seed pods that took.



On another note, should I start a growing project thread?
