Congrats Click to expand... You mean the column/petals and lip? (I don't think Bulbos have the equivalent staminode shield of slippers). Also even crazier is the stigmatic surface is actually in a shallow hole/socket that really takes some precision to poke the pollen into. I've successfully pollinated these flowers in the past and kind of difficult to find the hole.

Click to expand... I'm just a species guy so I generally don't pay attention to bulbo hybrids. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has made some hybrids with these species since they've been around for quite some time.
