Well, here it is day nine and, knock on wood, there is no contamination. Something is going on, though I am not sure of what it is.
There are clumps forming and it may be my imagination but they seem to have a green cast to them. Green is good!!
As I understand the process orchid seeds do not germinate like other seeds, but form protocorms. That looks very much like what is going on, but only time will tell.
What is a procorm you ask? The merriam-webster definition follows:
"Definition of protocorm. 1 : a tuber-shaped body with rhizoids that is produced by the young seedlings of various orchids and some other plants having associated mycorrhizal fungi. [prot- + -corm (from New Latin cormus)] : the part of an insect embryo posterior to the protocephalon."
