We have decades of working with various orchid species.
Please contact us when you are ready to send seed or stems to give us the heads up!
We are happy to work with dry seed as well as green capsules!

Prices:
Initial Flasking Fee/Mother Plate: $25 per capsule
Either dry or green, the cost is the same. This includes sowing two (2) mother flasks, if there is sufficient seed.
When you send us seed we need to know the genus of the parent, especially the capsule parent and the total number of final flasks desired. We may adjust the number of mother flasks accordingly. The final number can be increased later, if desired, and germination was sufficient. We will update you with progress regularly and confirm final flask prior to final replates.
Cost of the mother flask is non-refundable. Seed should be as clean as possible to ensure no contamination. Our seed sterilization protocol is very thorough, but sometimes seed has debris or other contaminants that reduce success.
Assign your own codes to your crosses and send us only those codes to ensure confidentiality. We will not grow out or sell any of the material you send us. The genetics remain your property.
Final Flasks: Minimum of 3: $35 each
4 to 10 final flasks: $30 each
11 or more flasks-$28 each
If you are interested in large numbers of flask, contact us for rates.
A 30% deposit is required at time of final replate with the remainder due at shipping. The protocorms will be destroyed if the deposit is not made within 30 days of billing.
Shipping costs will be billed and added to invoice at time of shipping.
These terms are subject to change, however the new terms will only apply to new projects.
