    Default Some work ahead in a few months.

    Compots of Catt seedlings I deflasked a couple of weeks ago. Didn't want to but had to. Beed in flask long enough. All my own crosses. Only a small part of the expected shipment due over the next few months.. Not sure of exact amount of plants per compot, 25 minimum.

    I suppose that they will stay in the compots until overcrowded ? Presumably a good many different grex here.
    Quite outside my experience this kind of orchid work ; I can only stand back in admiration.
    I have made pods a good few times in my life but passed them on to others to raise ; tried my hand at seed-sowing a few times, but had no luck with seedlings appearing. I even tried meristemming once - bought a binocular microscope for the purpose - no joy there, either.
    One can't do everything.

    I look at this & think Why??, Getting a bit long in the tooth for all this. Then again, I'm a stubborn old bloke who is going to stick around to see these flower.

    Back hurts just looking at them Zain. I'll leave them as they are for as long as I can but starting next Spring is when the work will start I think.
