Date: 21-07-2014, 4-08-2014, 5-08-2014 and 6-09-2014 I am not sure if this is hybrid or a normal plicata, because the flwoers are supposed to be facing towards front in Spathoglottis plicata. thanks … even green fruits open up to release seeds. would those seeds be ripe?
i am only drawing parallels with pods we eat like green peas or seem (butterbeans) etc greedpods there have unripe seeds. In orchids if the fruits open, then for sure seeds are ripe. One thing about orchid seeds are, they dont have any reserved food as they have no endosperm and they are dispersed by wind as they are super light in weight. Seeds may take some time to germinate, but they are always ripe. yes logical idea.. about opening pods to eat at will. would both be unripe… correct and dispersal of orchid seeds info: an eye opener. will look it up and No endosperm…. is that why they need compatible fungi to grow with? Yes orchid seeds as they lack their own food, they need food from secondary sources so they need fungi. 1. Fungi is very much specific of the habitat where they grow.
2. Orchid is very much specific of the fungi they link with and ofcourse they are specific to habitat too.
So orchids are kind of more picky in choosing where to grow and hence they are not so common in occurence in comparision to other plants. So to cope with this issue, orchids produces millions of seeds in each capsule but the survival rate is very low in wild. But please remember one plant if produces 1 fruit in an year and 1 fruit gives millions of seeds and only 5 survives and grow to adult…. ITS PERFECTLY FINE FOR ORCHIDS, as there is an increase in population and that is what each species in the world wants…..TO REPRODUCE !!!

Not a true colour of plicata. Also see fruits so I would say colourform. .
