Ths is a Cattleya seed pod. It is estimated 
that such a pod may carry over a million dust- 
like seeds! In the jungles not more than a few 
hundred will survive. Under scientific growing 
they are grown the first 6 months in bottles in 
a nutritional solution. Then they are carefully 
transplanted in osmunda. In this way a pod may 
produce as many as fifty thousand plants when 
handled scientifically.
