If it's a pollinator, it would have to be very small as the flowers are small. My suspicions fall more towards autogamy.

Encyclia (Dinema) polybulbon pollinator?

I've just noticed that my Encyclia polybulbon has not one but 4 seed pods, which would tend to mitigate against accidental pollination. Does anyone know whether this species is autogamous, or know...

Sometimes they can be fertilised 'by accident', for example when a caterpillar eats a bit and transfers some pollen, even ants can transfer pollen, or at least enough for the pod to set but you often...

There are quite a few Cattleya species that should work, jongheana, walkeriana and particularly nobilior.

I find this species incredibly easy as well, it copes with heat and dryness really well, up there with walkeriana and nobilior.

I think the striations are caused by mild peloricism, as their pattern mimics the lip.

Until it flowers, it's pointless to speculate, and even then with so many intervarietal variants around, you may never know. Most juvenile speciosums are fairly similar.

I agree with you completely, plant breeding, like dog breeding takes a small number of arbitrary traits and deems them 'necessary'. What it does to the genome of the wild species is narrow it down...

It will depend on the hybrid and growing conditions, I have plenty of nobile hybrids and soft cane species that keep their leaves.

I discovered the hard way that these guys despise high humidity. I've put the now-leafless canes outside in the hope they'll recover.

Not much of a scent, just a very faint one. I have about half a dozen clones so it will be interesting to see how the others turn out.

I hate to say it but it looks like a hybrid, apart from the flower coming from a leaf sheath, the leaves and pseudobulbs are too thin. Looks like it had something like intermedia in it.

A local orchidists suspects that ants could be responsible, apparently they try to predate on the pollinia.

No, not in the wild, just out on the lawn. The roots are growing out of the pot, and it was the only place I could put it without it falling over.

Barkeria lindleyana var alba

A dainty little thing, but a pain to photograph due to the downward facing nature of this species' flowers.
