Ansellia africana propagation success?
I'm considering crossing a couple of my Ansellia africana plants that are currently in bloom. Having never attempted crossing any orchids before, if anyone has had success with propagating this species from seed (all the way from the cross pollination stage to harvesting the seed), I would like to hear about your experience--both positive and negative. What went wrong--and what went right?
It is probably fairly straightforward to harvest a green pod and ship it off to one of the companies that offer flasking services. Is there any benefit in attempting to do this at home, provided you have the necessary equipment and use proper technique? I have looked at the propagation category on orchidboard's site, but many of the "how to propagate orchids at home" articles contain dead links. If anyone knows of one that is current, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help.
