Flower?....what to do?....

[zulteh279]

My N.Gracilis in flower....all are male plants,that's what i though at 1st because it has been flowering only male flower for 2years++.

To my surprise when i saw a female flower.....

Hmmmm.......what to do,what to do.....
because all of the male gracilis flower have dried out,so i cross it with my N.xMiranda that is in flower.....
crossing my finger hope that the seed pod will give me a fertile seed....
then i'll have a dozens of dozens N.gracilis X N.miranda seddling....
will post an update off the seed pod....
wish me luck....

thanks...

wow......going to expecting for nice colouration gracilis come out, haha, if not mistaken...

Usually influence of gracilis is very strong... the hybrid will most probably (large percentage of the seedlings anyway) have thin peristome.

zultech, you female flower looked already fully open for a while now, it's better if you pollinate it ASAP while the stigma still receptive. My tiny 2 cents...
