Affordable Plant Tissue Culture Part 2:

Orchids

Page 3



Here are some of my orchids.  They are Oncidium sphaecelatum varieties that I have been culturing for a friend and we are now looking for buyers.  Contact me if interested.  I've never sold plants before so I'm new to all of this.   We are not sure of the varieties due to a mixup  (I gave them the names indicated below) but have 3 distinct phenotypes developing.
