Recommendations for Flasking Service?

[Merrifishytail]

I've been scrolling through Google in search of a reputable flasking service-- unfortunately, I don't know who to choose.

There are Orchid Origins, Gallup & Stribling Orchids, Dr.Bill Orchids, and Meyer's Conservatory, to name the first four out of many more.

My question for those who don't germinate orchids in their very backyards: Who do you recommend sending your orchid pods to?

I sent Meyers my seed for three years and never got a single flask back. Steve Arthur is doing my flasking now.

Take a look at this chain Robert Jan-Quene, PhD, who is resuming some flashing services in Wisconsin.

I would do Troy of Meyer's conservatory if you have a lot of seeds or a species that is usually easier to flask (they seem to do Cattleyas best and they started with Cattleya flasking)

If you have something more sensitive or specialized like Paphs, I ditto the recommendation for Robert form Clearwater Orchid Labs, he has been nothing but great with flasking my material so far.

I had decent luck with Troy, not so decent with Origins.

Have never had a problem with Troy. Been using him for over a decade. Maybe longer.

I have the same query, but for the EU. Any recommendations for a reliable flasking service here?

Never responds to my emails. How do you reach him?
