My Orchid Hybridization Project

[siaogu]

Now that I have a thriving growing area, I thought of doing some hybridisation on my own. Here are some of the results from my project. Although it is still early days, I'll share whatever the results of the hybrids that I come up with.

The Parents

Phalaenopsis Seletar Tiger


Phalaenopsis fuscata

The Result

Did one more cross today, decided to do it because the Cattleya is badly bitten by snails and other pests.

The Parents

Cattleya mesquitae


Brassavola nodosa

That first Phallie is interesting behaviour when it is pollinated. All the best Vince!

Nice going, Vincent. Hope all of the crosses you make are successful. Looking forward to seeing the tiny orchid babies when you have the flasks growing.
