In theory sure it can be done. En masse, yes, but not quite yet. I have had some experience with hormone application to paphiopedilum leaves, and they show little response other than senescence, death, or deformation. However, the type of cloning you are talking about can be done with paphiopedilum, and has.

Thanks, Steve! I can't imagine that the industry, moving towards mericlones as it seems to be, would be far behind in developing this branch of commerce.
To the other OGD subscribers who have contacted me off list: Alas, the link no longer opens for me either and I can't re-trace my footsteps to find the source abstract, so I can't comply with your request for the authors of the paper. I'll keep trying, or maybe someone else here read the appaer and can supply the information. I should have left a better trail of breadcrumbs.
