Springfield Orchids

Here are some new seedlings that flowered this season

Some observations................of unusual events

1. The first photo is of a naturally pollinated flower (of the miniature cymbidium species, floribundum) to create a seed pod.
This is the first time that I'd seen this in over 40 years of growing cymbidium orchids.
All the other seed pods were created with human intervention!

2. The most annoying cymbidium species to grow - hookerianum (aka grandiflorum).
Regularly has swollen ovaries and flowers that never open. Compare the pedicel (i.e. stem) with a normal flower bud (pictured).

3. One of my breeding plants - Willunga Regal ' #3' 4n, has produced 3 different flowers on the one stem.
The first two images show "feathering" to varying degrees while the third is the normal blooming for this plant.
Has never done this since it first bloomed in 2017.
