Default Seed pod question.

Why not? The genus of the cross will be McLellanara.

Unfortunately, however, there's no such plant as Odontocidium Kolibri.
There's a Wilsonara Kolibri....

The spots are more likely a fungal or bacterial infection, so don't worry
about it.

Hi again,
At the moment I have a Brassia caudata and a odontocidium Kolibri with
flowers. I would like to cross those two using the odontocidium as the
motherplant. Does anyone know if it can be done. I know that brassia and
oncidium is possible and brassia with odontoglossum is also possible.
Has anyone ever seen this cross?

And than a nother question.
When a plant has spots(black, brown), perhaps a virus. Will the pollen of
that plant then carry the virus to a nother plant. Can I polinate a nother
healthy plant without contaminating it? (oncidium(has spots) and a

brassia)

The plant with the spots is strong and grows well. It flowers several

times
a year, always from the new growth. It is strong enough to carry a

seedpod,
but won't the seed carry on the illness, virus or whatever it is. The

spots
are getting fewer in number by every new growth, but they are still there.
