Pollinia of Lyc. skinneri search!

[Fernando]

Hi,

this year I try again. I want to make a remake of the wonderful but at the nurseries virtually extinct Lycaste Imschootiana. Lycaste cruenta is almost blooming, so I search for someone who is willing to donate pollinia of Lycaste skinneri. Please make sure, that it really is Lycaste skinneri, as the var. ipala (not so big) is now regarded as L. guatemalensis. For more information refer also to Henry.F.Oakeleys beautiful book "Lycaste, Ida and Anguloa, the Essential Guide" , we don´t want to make more confusion in labelling Lycastes!

Thanks from Spain

Fernando

Fernando,

I will add to your thread. I am looking for a division of 'Duncan York' FCC/AOS, 1983. Does anyone know where it can be located/purchased?

This plant was awarded in 1983, exhibitors were Mr/Mrs Riopelle of Portland, OR. It's a gem!

Fernando my skinneri doesn't bloom until January but Good Luck, the cross should be great.

Sorry Stitz, can't help you either but if you find a source, get me one too!
