Thanks for the great advice!
From what I read online, it didn't really seem possible for the average person to grow Orchids from seed. It sounds like you'd need a sterilized lab and some pretty expensive equipment.
Elaine, I agree that life is too short to start such slow growing plants from seed. I planted Saguaro seeds a while ago not realizing how slowly they grow. I was advised that it is highly unlikely that I'll ever see them bloom in my life time. I'm 25
. Maybe my daughter will get to see it when she is 50 years old lol. I can't imagine going through all of that trouble, and then having to wait 5 more years for the Orchid to flower.
So many beautiful plants are sold as throw-away's. It's a shame. Today I saw a Vanda Orchid at Home Depot for $70
