I wouldn't call it pink. I'd say they were magenta with some yellow around the throat.
People have created hybrids amongst Spathoglottis spp. but I don't know if anyone's done an intergeneric cross of some of the Arethusae orchids.
These aren't very popular. For good reason...
They're big plants. Like I said a while back in a post from an older thread you started about Spathoglottis plicata. These were about a couple feet tall. Each leaf was about a foot to 2' in length easily.
I think what people do with autogamous plants is to collect the pollinia as soon as they feel that the flower is in full bloom. Save the pollinia then pollinate another plant that doesn't bloom in sync with the other.
