Mine tiny plant. I got it one year ago from Jan Moors as protocorm, it is its 3rd growth within one year. I thought is has died and I almost lost my hopes but I wait for a while...

IT'S ALIVE!!! (followed by freakish cackling)

You got it as a protocorm, and not a seedling? Really?

I am glad it is alive. The more living plants we have the more pollen we can share in the future :clap:

Yes, but it's not yet in flower. It's still a long way to go.

Yes, it was a cca. 1mm green mass with few branches. By time at the end of one of branches started to form a tiny plant, the other part of protocorm died back.

Did You keep it nonsterile from that point of time?
