List of orchid seed capsule ripening times?

[ludwig]

I have found various listings as the time it takes. However based on my exerience with Sch, tibicinis---it takes about 2-3 weeks for the pod to mature and then explode. Most books list longer times---up to 6-8 months.
I hope you have pleny of headroom for your plant. Ours put out sprays up tp 10 feet long . The long way we could accomodate this was to move it outdoors. We also got rapid germination from the pod.----once planted on agar medium---we had gemination within one week and the plants began to try to crawl out of the flask after 1 year,

The site that I usually consult has been pulled for inclusion in a book. I have found the list from "Lucke, 1971" listing 14 genera. Do you know of a more complete list with genera or even species seed capsule ripening times?
Another way to accomplish this is to compile our own list from what we can report about our own efforts.

I'm specifically searching for ripening times for Mc (Schomb.) tibicinis x self.
Also for Broughtonia sanguinea pod parent crossed with a Cattleya. (If I recall Broughtonia matures very quickly.)
Thanks in advance,
