False Inflorescence

False Inflorescence

Dr Abe V Rotor

Deceiving flowers - but for what reason?
Fancy though elegant looking; 
Nature's full of conceit, deceit, and joke
to the unwary and unbelieving.

Most orchid seeds are hard to propagate but the seeds of this Cymbidium finlaysonianum easily germinate in the pot/soil of some terrestrial plants I had which was located below the coconut tree where the mother Cymbidium was mounted. The soil are loamy and semi-dry because I don't water the plants regularly. Maybe the soil had just contained the symbiotic fungi the orchid seeds need to grow with.
