Good for you!!
You bloomed plants from flask before with success - I am curious, what is the percentage of good blooming survivors from a flask like that for you?

I bought about 6 years ago a flask with Paph Black Currants x Macabre ( now registered as Lynne Cassidy). I started out with 30 babies in that flask and have now 2 blooming size plants, one of them is in spike. I actually managed to get a bunch of babies growing initially, but I lost many of them outside. At the time I was still foolish to use Sphagnum moss, a favorite nest building material for birds.... needless to say, one day in Spring I found my baby plants scattered over the floor of the cage. Then I lost a couple here and there, until there were two.
But I am glad I did it just for the experience. I tip my hat to you. to the professional growers!! And other brave souls like you!
