Hi y'all -

Just curious - Has anyone attmpted any Mexipedium x Phragmipedium crosses?

Hi Brian,

We've tried Mex (Phrag.) xerophyticum (x fischeri, (x besseae) and (x schlimii), with no luck. Germination was very sparse and those few seedlings that lived to be deflasked, died within 2 weeks in compot. I heard that (x Mem. Dick Clements) was also tried by another breeder with the same result :=(

That's a disappointment. :mad:

Some things just aren't meant to be.

Marilyn LeDoux, in a lecture several years back, said that she had tried several Mexipedium x Phrag crosses with no luck, either.

A friend of mine also has tried and waiting to see if the seed will grow.

Some things just aren't meant to be.

:iagree::iagree: So true!
