Phalaenopsis appendiculata

Trying tro do a crossing between 2 blooming appendiculatas. The blooms are so small and the pollens really tiny !!!!   Just trying to see clearly with the watch makers' magnifier strains the eyes.  Will update if successful.

Selfing done...

Couldn't resist doing a selfing yesterday ..... now we wait !!  Fingers crossed.

Same same but different !

This week , a first bloom for 2 seedlings from the same seed pod. This is the reason why the process might become routine but the excitment never stops because you can never really predict accurately what the outcome will be.

Bulbophyllum agastor

Bought this from Bill Thoms after a long search. Its been here alomst 16 months. I grow it mounted on fern bark and under 50% shade netting. Its happy with 2 waterings a day when there is no rain. Flowering for the first time since I bought it  :)
