Orchid Seed Capsule photos

Uechi · #1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2008, 03:46 PM

I need a good photo of a mature Orchid Seed Capsule intact, one that's split (gone thru dehiscence) and one of a capsule cut in half showing seeds. There are lots of them on the internet but they are all copyrighted. I won't steal someone elses work. If you can provide one or more of the photos and give me permission to used them in our orchid newsletter I will give you credit for the photos. Thanks

Hi! You can use my seed capsule pictures if you want. They are of a mini-type Catt. so the pods are small. They are just turning in this picture. The seed ended up not having embryos, but the capsule looks the same as if they did.

Here are a couple of pictures of a mature Phalaenopsis capsule, and one that has lost all it's seed. The quality isn't the greatest, but hey...I tried! Good luck with your newsletter! Remember www.orchidgeeks.com Rocks!
