Was quite surprised to see that Chiltern Seeds in the UK offers seed of
the orchid, Disa uniflora. Even though Chiltern keeps the seed in cold
storage, some experts claim the seed must be used "fresh". It is
interesting that the plant is named after the mythical Swedish queen
Disa, who when ordered to appear by the king neither nude nor clad
arrived wrapped in a fish net! Chiltern remarks it does conjure up a not
unpleasant picture.
