| Important
information, when buying Orchid seeds |
The
orchid seeds I sell are directly imported from South Africa
Growing orchids
from seed is a fairly specialised task and it requires a bit of
knowledge of tissue culture techniques. I suggest that anyone wishing
to try this should first contact their local Orchid Society, or
purchase a book on the subject, or both! Orchid seeds should only be
bought by experienced orchid growers or dedicated gardeners that are
willing to devote a lot of time to research orchids grown from seed and
to the long time and a lot of labour that this method of Orchid
propogation requires.
Orchid pctures are
very rare and those that exist, are mostly under copright. That's why I
cannot provide pictures for every species other than posting a link to
the web sites of Orchid societies or specialized orchid growers.. For
some orchid species pictures even don't exist.
Please keep all
this in mind, when you buy orchid seeds from me.
I will do my best
to provide approbiate links for you , where you can find information
about orchids, pictures, books and bakground knowledge.
