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.
