Is it possible to do this cross?

No, it won't work, the two are in completely different alliances. Crossing plants from the same genus nearly always works, and crossing within the same alliance works fairly well, and is pretty much the most different you can get.

Well... I crossed them the phal was the polen parent and the brassidium was the female plant. Now to wait and see if the cross was successful!
