We now offer corpse flower seedlings in 3.25" pots! View here: www.orchidweb.... Jason and Jerry Fischer talk about two corpse flowers at Orchids Limited that bloomed within days of each other. www.orchidweb.com
Just saw our first corpse flower at Longwood gardens in Pennsylvania. The smell wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but definitely smelled rotting flesh. The workers explained pollination and today there was square cut in the flower for the pollination process. It was fascinating. Now I'm watching you and learning a little more about it.
Bee Bob yes I think you get used to the smell. What smells worse are many Bulbophyllum orchids! Longwood gardens is one of the nicest gardens I’ve ever been to. Glad you could experience it!
@@OrchidWebTV Been a member for years. Their orchids are fantastic. I was able to see them as corona shut things down. Oh, I've found many Lilies to be more offensive odor wise. Some of those really stink.
Our house in west Los Angeles was on property that used to belong to a grower of some sort and a number of decades ago a ‘volunteer’ corpse flower appeared and bloomed in our garden!
We will sell the seedlings when they germinate, which should start late summer or fall of 2020. So far, one plant aborted, and one is making the fruit. It is too early to tell how many will come out of this, but if it is a good germination, we should get about 50 to 100+ seedlings.
How long after you plant the corm, will you see any growth?? Was just given two, about the size of a silver dollar. I've been wanting to grow one of these beautiful monsters for years!!!!
I am very disappointed you didn't film the harvesting of the pollen. Why stop right in the middle of things? Otherwise the video was so interesting, just can't understand the rushed ending.
