Title: Dactylorhiza
Post by: Calvin Becker on July 18, 2010, 10:24:40 PM

Hi all

Would any members be willing to collect some Dactylorhiza seed of any type and exchange with me? I have facilities to grow the plants on from seed and hopefully get them established over here in South Africa.

Thanks

I could probably help with this too Calvin, but not for some months. They're still underground!

Not wanting to miss out on the collection of Dactylorhiza seed as I was late last year...any collection of seed would be appceiated..Please! Hybrids or any species would be appcreciated.

Also just to note I has some seed germinate in a potting mix of bark fines mix with sand and coco fibre. I didnt expecte them to germinate being orchids but hearing how they grow like weeds in some countrys I thought I give it a go. They looked like corn coming up but only 5% germinated, I guess to be expected.

cheers
Stephen

Hi all, I can collect at least 3 species of Dact-seed. Send me your addresses in a private mail and i will collect and send them to you. Interested in Epipactis species as well?
