WANTED: Have:Tipularia discolor, cranefly orchid

Hello,
I just rescued some small plant corms and ripe seed pods from a construction site, and the Plant ID Forum graciously identified them as Tipularia discolor, or crippled cranefly orchid. The seedpods look healthy, but the seeds inside resemble dust - I assume this in normal for a wild orchid. Is anyone experienced and interested in some seed? It is not "threatened" in NC, but it is in many states, and I'd like to send to some good homes. I thjought I would just re-plant the small corms in an adjacent safe woodland area, unless someone has better advice? I have zero orchid or monocot experience. |

| SIX ripe seed pods left - email me if you can flask seed and would like them. I can't do orchids (no greenhouse), but I will take other seeds in exchange or just send without trade to get these Tipularia seeds good homes. |

| Check my list to see if I have anything you'd be interested in. I was waiting on seeds of ladies tresses native orchids that grow in abundance in the ditches down the road but the county mowers got them sooooooo,I thought,I'll just dig up a plant....once again Darn Mowers! Argh! You don't need a greenhouse to grow native orchids. Winter sew them outside. PP |

| Each pod will have hundreds of seeds. They need to be put on top of a moist soilless medium and winter sowed. If you are interested in trading I have fresh seeds of agastache 'blue fortune' and cana as well as others you may like. Hedy |
