Looking for pollen from a good Paph niveum, or a niveum hybrid

[Fairorchids]

I have a compact complex (25% helenae) hybrid, which I would like to pollinate with a good quality small growing white flower, preferably niveum or perhaps a Paph Mystic Isle. The latter was sold as (Ang-Thong alba x niveum) x niveum.

If anyone can help, please send me an email (fairorchids@aol.com) with a photo of the flower.

I'll give you a bump also. Wish I could help. No white bloom but i do have a spotted Vanda M. Pearman.

I must get a pic of this one. I'm very happy with myself.

I have a few Mystic Isle but all are spotted instead of pure white.

If flower shape is good, I am OK with the speckling. If you have something in flower at moment; I would be interested in seeing a photo.

Sorry, they are not in bloom at the moment. They should spike soon. They flowers in October last year.

Are you looking for perfectly round shape?

This is from last October.
I have four and this one was the largest and closest to full shape.
I kept others just in case they bloom with any improvement, although I don't have much hope.

Is there such thing as optimum time for fertilization of flowers? like younger the bloom, the better, for example?

That looks nice and round. Love the bridge in the background.

With Paphs you can pollinate fairly late in the flowering cycle, but I prefer to do it as early as possible, to give pollen max time to grow through.

For third step in this breeding, I am looking for small growing, and as round a flower as possible.
