Am I correct?

I am not the biologist and do not know much, but is possible your theory is true. However, practice shows that is better pollination occurs for flowers of different species. Obtaining of seed from flowers of one kind is very difficult.

Tindomul, you well know plants of family Araceae. I am surprised. On the account of Cryptocoryne cordata I do not know. I bad define them. Besides in garden 50 species of Cryptocoryne are grown up approximately. On the account of Anuibias coffefolia you are absolutely right.

Here are my most recent non orchid blooms. This includes that Anubias frazeri. At least I think its an A. frazeri.

I love anything that smells good, that weakness is what got me into orchids in the first place......I'm walking along minding my own bussiness shopping for a maidenhair fern when this gloroius scent stops me dead in my tracks. further investgation leads me to a white cattley (no tag of course) and I forgot all about the fern .LOL. I grow jasmines, stephanotis,mostera,a kumquat tree that keeps all the spidermites away from the orchids ,LOL,Thunbergia grandiflora,passiflora,and trying my hand at a plumeria.
I love the tillandsia cyanea! beautiful!

This is what is currently blooming at my house that’s scented…The first one is

Osmanthus Fragrans also know as sweet olive- It’s the most modest bush you will ever see and the flowers are almost unnoticeable maybe a couple of centimeters but the scent is unmissable …to me it smells like apricots or peach I have it sitting next to my door so I can enjoy it every time I enter or exit the house…..

The next one is my Meyer Lemon Tree…It gave me 8 lemons last year and its only a couple of feet tall…I have it sitting next to my vandas so I can enjoy its scent every time I check the orchids…
