The Australian Orchid Foundation maintains a seed and protocorm bank to promote and facilitate the propagation and conservation of orchid species.
Donations of dry seeds are requested from donors. The following list of important points should be kept in mind when producing or donating seeds:
- Post all seed donations in small rigid containers, not padded bags or envelopes. Modern mail-handling machinery kills or severely damages most orchid seeds.
- Please provide collection date on the seed, so that we can know how fresh the seed is, and build up information on how long orchid seed of various species remain viable.
- Please provide information on pollination method (was the plant naturally pollinated, selfed or out crossed), so that we can collect information on the success of self pollination of a range of genera.
Please support our efforts to conserve orchid species by pollinating your orchids and supplying excess seed or protocorms to the:
Australian Orchid Foundation Seed & Protocorm Bank.
P.O. Box 2152
Templestowe Heights Vic. 3107
Email: protocorm@australianorchidfoundation.org.au
Phone: (03) 9850 9867
Seeds and protocorms are generously donated to the AOF Seed & Protocorm Bank by orchid enthusiasts eager to make a contribution to the conservation of orchid species. The seeds and protocorms are then made available to anyone
interested for a minimum price.
