Thanks everybody for the feedback. I guess I'll just wait and see if if anything germinates that looks like it could be a result of that cross, which sadly will take about 1-2 years as the Encyclia seed pods take forever to pop. The Gongora ones will be quicker.
I'm kind of just looking for anything to cross the Encyclias with because I really don't want any more of them, but they tend to produce a ton of seed and germinate easily if left to their own.
Another cross that I did was with Epidendrum ciliare ( I guess it's Coilostylis ciliaris now) which should be possible based on a cross that I found on OrchidRoots, Epicyclia Valerie Parker. I'm curious to see if hybrid seeds will germinate outside of a petri dish.
As far as non-compatible orchids producing normal seed pods, I've found that most often a pod will start developing but abort a few days to a couple weeks into development. Or sometimes it develops but very stunted. It does seem like there are some sort of internal protections that keep the plant from investing too much energy into a useless seedpod. That's kind of why I got my hopes up because the seed pod from last year looks identical to the ones that were naturally pollinated.
