Nepenthes. So it was possible to make cuttings from plants which
usually grew as rosettes.

This sounds extremely interesting to me. Could you mail a copy of
this comment to me and give me the e-mail adress of the orchid group.
Does anybody know of any papers dealing on long-term storage of
pollen?
