Title: Pleione seed available?
Post by: bgibbon on April 28, 2013, 10:55:03 PM

 I volunteer at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Canada and look after our orchid flasking lab. We have lots of tropical orchids and Pleione formosana seed started but I'm looking to start other species and/or hybrids. Pleiones don't seem to be very popular here so seed is virtually impossible to find.
Any suggestions to help us find seed?
Thanks

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum.
Lots of pleione growers here so I hope someone will be able to help you out with seed.
