Gee wiz.. I have never done that. I am a newbie! Just got lucky buying this plant.
I am thrilled to have the parentage for this plant. .. I am willing to try the pollination bit, but I don't have another plant like it. It would be fun.
I almost got rid of this plant.

Thank you so much for doing this research for me. I did not realize what a special plant this is. I managed to garner a second place at my local orchid society meeting a few days ago. I plan on being kinder to this plant by first repotting it in new medium. The plant is still in its 3 inch square pot and very 'wobbly'. I put the whole works in a clay pot with lots of bark around and on top of existing container.
I also need to be consistent with orientation to the light source. The presentation is not that great. I would like to show this plant next year and do a better job presenting it.
I am quite happy never less to have gotten this plant to flower.!
