What will you think of a sangii x hookerae ?

[SlipperFan]

Both species can be purchased in the U.S. but are a bit rare.

I know. But I was thinking it would be neat to be able to purchase seedlings from Damas without having to jump through 25000 hoops.

If I can obtain seeds and send some to Troy Meyers, that will make seedlings available for USA.
That is probably the fastest and less twisted way to do the trick...

Unfortunatelly, it's a one way trick, and it's far more difficult for us, in Europe, to obtain selected paphs from famous nurseries you have in the States.

Thanks, Damas -- that would be great!

Regarding your last statement, that's another reason I wish CITES would be reformed.

As hookerae is one favourite paphs I like the idea of this cross. It will be interesting to see how dominance works in such closely related species. However hookerae can be temperamental and a hybrid with a closely related species hopefully will get lots of hybrid vigour. So good luck, and hopefully you can trade in Europe at least.

Some news :

- hookerae selfing : so far so good
- hookerae (pod parent) x sangii : so far so good
- sangii selfing : I think it did not work :sob:
