I have many questions and hope that someone can lead me in the right direction.

Given:
I have a Paph. lowii and a Paph. primulinum var. album that I want to cross. The lowii is at least a second year bloomer and in bloom right now. The primulinum is blooming size and could bloom this year.

Question #1
Which should be the pod parent? I know that it can make a difference in some since one is sequential and one is multi-floral.

Question #2
Should I wait until the primulinum is older? As far as timing, I could harvest the pollen right now from the lowii and pollinate the primulinum when it blooms.

Question #3
Has Paph. Mamie Wilson (lowii x primulinum) been done with an album form? Also, which is the pod parent? I know the order tells this, but I can't remember.

This is it for now, but I am sure I will have many more questions.
