That is beautiful! I especially like the second parent. Any predictions on seedling blooms?

I'm looking forward to seeing your results and I'm sure I'm not alone in being grateful you're sharing! I so wish there were more pictures of orchid crosses out there.

Good luck with them.

well if riverbend is known for passing to progeny flowers with a white border, these should be interesting

Gorgeous seedlings, they sure look happy!!!

Phal season is starting at my place, and based on what's flowering at the same time I'll try a few crosses.

Riverbend genes are supposed to be 'special' - I will see how special, or not, when I get the seedlings to bloom. Root growth is amazing though and I don't know if that is the 4N heritage coming through. Unfortunately with seed propagation there is no internet resource with a lot of detail and that is because there are so few individuals that propagate orchids, especially phals.
Thanks, I think I understand that. It's so hard to understand all the different things related to orchid culture.

update.
Generally speaking they are all doing well for plants just gone 7 months old. On hindsight I should have planted them in compots for a while before into individual pots.
I have 2 or 3 ( in compots ) with leafspans of at least 8 inches already - see photo. They have tremendous root growth too. However these were the ones that were much larger than the others from the get go.
