Temperate growing terrestrial orchid from southern Europe.
Blooms from late February / Mars to May/June.
The seeds for sale were collected from different colonies spread in central Portugal. The pictures were taken by me to individual plants that display the most frequent colors and patterns of these orchids in that particular area. It is likely their siblings will show similar features.
Seeds collecting date: May 2021
Note: Orchid seeds look like powder, a small sample contain thousands of minuscule seeds. For this reason it is impossible to pack a specific number of seeds. Each pack may contain thousands of seeds, it is enough to sow 5-10 flasks depending on size and density.
Storage and viability:
Seeds were tested and analyzed on the microscope for confirmation of a well developed embryo.
For prolonged viability seeds are stored at 4C in airtight containers under 40% humidity. Most hardy orchid seeds may stay viable for years under proper storage conditions.
