pollinating some paphs!

[tmoney]

hope it's ok to post a link that I think some may find fun! recently tried to cross a couple of our paphs, and hoping for some good seed...



always open to some feedback on stuff...thanks!

very very well made and informative! excellent shots of all the orchid parts too! i've been using the troy meyers lab pollination post as a reference so it's really great to have an actual video to see how it's done. please keep us updated on whether or not these result in seed pods.

thanks merc! each time we are trying to improve on visuals, but getting the stigma and showing the pollinia actually going on there, well that's a whole other thing im trying to figure out

yes, we like to give periodic updates of our pollination attempts, just cause its nice to see how the capsules develop and can help see when its good or not. this is also something with paphs that we aren't 100% confident on. still waiting to see if we have some germination from our last paph cross we sent in, but hope to give a glimpse at the entire process. honestly, its a slow motion train wreck, or like in austin powers with the steam roller....
