1. I have a Coelogyne cristata and a Pholidota chinensis, both currently in spike. I'd like to try breeding them.

I'm going to cross these two plants. Does anybody know whether this cross has been attempted before, and whether it was sucessful? Does anybody have recommendations about how to proceed here?

2. I also wanted to see if I could find a 'breeding buddy.' Do you have a related orchid which you could extract pollenia from, to send to me? Do you have a related orchid which you'd like to fertilize with pollenia from my Coel or Phol? Related genera include: Coelogyne, Dendrochilum, Neogyne, Otochilus, Panisea, Pleione, and Pholidota. If you'd be interested in breeding other stuff, let me know. I've got a lot of orchids around, and while I'm mostly into Coels and Bulbos, I'd be glad to mess around with other stuff and/or send pollenia.
