| I find that when pollinating Catts, using a flower that has been open for only a short time produces the best results. Also, do not remove the pollinia from the flower you are pollinating. Most orchids begin the process of dehiscence when the pollinia are removed before pollen tubes reach the ovary. They will often shed a flower that has no pollinia, even if it has been pollinated. Another note on maternal DNA - In Catts, yellow colors are greatly influenced via mitochondrial DNA.
What are you going to put on your aurantiaca??
