If you have a plant you'd like to breed it with, I can send you the pollen if it is still intact.

Thank you for the offer but I have never bred plants and wouldn’t even know where to start.

Did you by any chance also buy that stockpile of dowiana flasks Steven was selling also?

Do you also maybe have a shop where you sell these crosses you make?

Lastly, my tenant (Kyle) has a large collection of Cattleyas, with emphasis on historical, coerulea & alba clones (primarily mother divisions). He doesn't sell commercially, but on occasion I sell some of his divisions.

I will make sure to check your site. I recently bloomed some plants of yours not too long ago and they were great. I’ll keep an eye out.
