self-pollination oncidium: is possible?

[giuseppeorchids]

Hello! My oncidium is in bloom (shortly I will post the photos) and I'd like to try to sow orchids so I can try to auto-pollinate my oncidium... but I have a doubt: with self-pollination the oncidium produces fertile seeds or not? If no, I wait for phalaenopsis flower and I will pollinate that

thanks and sorry if my english is awful

seeds will be fertile if there are no ploidy issues ( some orchids are infertile ). This same issue would apply to Phals.

If you give me the names of the orchids, I can see if there is any registered progeny - which would be the first indication of fertility.

thanks! I dont know exactly which species is my oncidium, but this is tho photo of the flower



do you know its name?

that MAY be an Oncidium varicosum. There are thousands of Oncidium hybrids and thus almost impossible to 100% identify.

The good news is that varicosum is fertile. I suggest you try a selfing as an experiment. I only mentioned ploidy because I didn't want you to become discouraged from experimenting if you thought it was something you did that caused the pollination to fail.
