Hi Frans,
do you mean that it is possible to grow Pseudorchis albida in our cities?
Last week I have seen some plants and now there is 1m snow.
Here the photo (1800m).

Hello Hans

No problem, you can grow them in a alpine house

To whom it may concern:
I have 5-6 seedpods of Cypripedium flavum and I have absolutely no idea as to what to do with this seed. The parent plant is an average yellow with only a few purple spots around the opening to the puch. Anybody interested in this seed? Send me a PM, please.

The Hardy Orchid Society runs a seed bank and is always delighted to receive seed to distribute to members and other interested people.
The website is  http://www.hardyorchidsociety.org.uk/
If you look under the 'Seedbank' section it gives details of seed preparation.
Then look at the 'Committee' section and you will be able to contact the Seedbank Manager via the website.
He would be delighted to hear from you, but is sometimes abroad setting up seed conservation projects so may take a while to get back to you.
It would be lovely if you could spare some seed to send to him.
