Trying to learn how to pollinate phals

[Gwenchanter]

Sounds great! thanks so much phalaephila and dgenovese! I plan on using Daniella Ter Laak as the pollen parent and Brother Love King "De Leon's Exotic" as the pod parent. Daniella is a clear yellow with very nicely shaped largish flowers and De Leon's Exotic has deep purple spots in little rows radiating from the center, with a pinkish background. By crossing it with Daniella I hope to keep the spot pattern the same but make the background more peachy or yellow colored.

Another question just occured to me... Once the flowers are mature enough, how many of the flowers on the pod parent should I pollinate? I thought maybe if i did two or three it would give a better chance for it to work. Of course I dont want to over stress the plant so what do you think?
