Hello,
I once read somthing wich I don't know if its true as I never tried my self, I pollinated several times my Zygopetalum, but always drops the inmature pods when it gets new stems.
"Zygopetalums are infamous for not accepting any pollen from another (even closely related) orchid; if you tried this, the result will always be another Zygopetalum" it comes from Pollination of Orchid Flowers
I'm curios to see the flowers coming out from your cross.
Regards,
Olivia |

I had heard the same, but I rarely trust the words of others. I like to see things for myself. I was extremely excited when the seed took in both directions.

Well, Zygopetalums and Lycastes are from two very different subtribes, but Zygocaste hybrids do exist.
Just sayin'.... |

It never hurts to experiment, if you can afford to. Some outcomes are good, others not so.
Bill Thoms, "the" bulbo expert, crossed C, velutina and Enc. cordigera. it was so bad, he registed the hybrid as Epicattleya Never Remake This

That is too funny! Unfortunately OrchidWiz shows it but has no photo for me to look at! |

Does anyone
know the cost of registering a cross ? I bought a bellina x lamellegra cross at a nursery and asked why it wasn't registered. I was told - too expensive.....sooooo next question was well how much -answer $50. To me that seems reasonable since it has to go to RHS...
...and OrchidWiz has this cross as registered under Phal Pantherina and also under Phal Cornu-Cervi ( different
species ) but not under Phal Lamellegra, which doesn't appear to be a recognised species.
