Oddball Breeding

[Jmbaum]

Hey everyone,

I’m wondering if you know anyone that has been doing oddball/ novelty breeding with Cattleya alliance (or any others)? Strange growth habit or remarkable pseudobulbs (think schomburgkia x coilostylis parkinsoniana), or unusual flower forms (spot, stripes, large and ugly even), or just unconventional inter generic crosses for improved temperature tolerance or drought tolerance.

Thanks!
Jeffrey

Also I just pollinated my Epicatt Rene Marquez ‘Tyler’ with pollen from Oerstedella (Epidendrum) tetraceros, any thoughts on what kinda of viability it may have? I thought it would be interesting if it pans out.
