The Day After pollinating the BLC 'Rustic Spots' and POT Haw Yuan Gold

[SvenLittkowski]

For cross reference, please also see my threads about pollinating the BLC 'Rustic Spots' and POT Haw Yuan Gold 'YK #2' in this sub forum.

I made now the pollinations as mentioned in the two threads above. That was yesterday evening.

Today evening, I see some change in the blossoms. They are collapsing slowly, like closing. See the photo comparisons of both orchids before and after. The interval is quite exactly 24 hours.

I think, it is normal that the orchid blossoms close after (successful?) pollination, right?

Also, I see the first time a darker area on the stem behind the blossoms of the BLC. Can anyone read all these signs?

Also, how many seeds are in an orchid "fruit"?
