This is mainly about parvi x non-parvi hybrids.
I noticed that tags on almost all my such hybrids list non-parvi parent first, and as I understand it, that is supposed to the pod parent, right?
I'm assuming shorter time till harvesting as I read that brachy, multi & cochlopetalum mature pods a lot faster (5-6 months) than other groups (over 10months or even year on some occasions?) of Paphs?
With my very limited trial, I found brachy and sequential bloomer have dry stigma surface and won't take pollens from parvi. Maybe I should have used sticky agent like honey.
When I tried the other way around, it was very easy!
I wanted to remake ( hopefully) Jennifer Kalina but pollination did not even happen. I put the sticky pollen of chamberlainianum on my malipoense instead.
I used the spare pollen sac on malipoense hybrid.
Time will tell now.
