Nope.
I don't need to.
They're seeding themselves.
All those seedlings are being seeded from an existing Vanda.
There are dozens scattered throughout the trees on my lot and the neighbors on both sides of me.
I'm not sure how it is happening, if they have a pollinator or are self fertile.
But, it is happening!
I was speaking with one of my orchid pushers.
He was telling me that many of the hybrid Vandas in their greenhouse develop seed pods.
It is not unusual for them to do so.
The Den. antennatum hybrid I recently acquired also has a seed pod on it [it has split and is presently spreading its seeds].
Many of the others in the greenhouse where I got it had seed pods too.
I expect it to become a "weed" also.
Weeds like these I can handle, especially the epiphytes.
I don't have to worry about running them over with the lawnmower.
