:rollhappy::rollhappy::rollhappy::rollhappy: Are there any hybrids or attempts at making cross-genera hybrids with slipper orchids? e.g. Paphiopedilum, Phragmepedium, Selenipedium, Cypripedium, Mexipedium
Do you believe in leprechauns, Eric?:rollhappy:Anything is possible.
sounds crazy, but I thought that the red color in besseae maybe a result from a jump that incorporate the red color gene from another orchid flower (that was not even a phrag). All it takes is one crazy insect that visited two different species.
And by some weird coincidence, the original "green/brown" besseae decided to incorporate the red piece of the gene from the foreign pollen.
I don't agree. Look at the Lion/Tiger or other x-species hybrids.
