Selfing peloric orchid? Male
Default

I know that Casa de las Orquideas has done some breeding of peloric Cymbiium. In this genus, selfing is more likely to produce pelorics than an outcross (I purchased some seedlings of an outcross, and they produced non-peloric flowers).

In Phalaenopsis, it is my impression that growers select spontaneous pelorics, and then meristem the desirable ones.

I am not aware of any Cattleya breeders, who pursue pelorics on purpose. Nor do I recall lhaving seen any meristems with peloric flowers.
