Is Phal. Bronze Maiden infertile?

[nataliekaye91]

Hi all- I just purchased one of Norman’s Orchids Phal. Bronze Maidens (Norman’s-I know, I know).

( Bronze Maiden is Phal schilleriana x Phal mannii. )

But it was the ONLY vendor I could find one from, there were a few recently listed on Etsy but honestly Norman’s were seed grown and looked better so I went with Norman’s. Anyway the plant is large, mature.. its roots are Okay… I repotted it immediately as it was in broken down small pot of moss.

I was doing some research on this grex and I’ve found no breedings using Bronze Maiden.

Is this cross infertile? Does anyone know? Just out of curiosity since I love the cross so much.. don’t wanna waste my time breeding it though if it’s known to not be fertile. I’m guessing that it could be triploid?

I’ll share some pictures of it. Last picture is a comparison of its glossy silver leaves next to a species Phal amboinensis ‘Wilson’ with regular green leaves!
