orchid hybridisation

today.luckily have to run only 2 rounds around the field.syukur.did more of kicking the ball.for soccer.after bla bla bla,went to orchid hybridisation.had to make candle.oh.wad fun.after that had to transfer some orchid seedlings into test tubes.den went to uncle david's class.after all the planting of orchid plants, he allowed us to run around the orchid garden.very beautiful.i was thinking of wad to ask him.but i was so scared if he might think differently of what i say.so i ask just asked him.


"uncle david, if i ask you to create a new orchid hybrid and name it after me,how much do you charge?" and then he told me a different story.about me making it myself. he asked me to buy the 2 different types of orchid hybrid.then make the orchid produce seeds and send the seeds for sowing in the lab.but it costs like around $300-$500 just to sow it.sigh. but he say that i he can help me plant the plant until it has a flower and will name it after me for free. he even said he considered me as a friend! shocking..



the picture uncle david gave me.all these orchids are hybrid-ed by him.he hasnt name them.so im trying to recommend him some names? :p btw, the scanning is not so good.the scientific names for the 4 flowers are (clockwise direction): dendrobium lasianthera, (this one u can see), dendrobium stratiotes and Den. margaret Thatcher
