The more I see this stunner the more I'm inclined to own one. Guess I have some research to do. Thanks a lot!

And if this cross with Pecteilis radiata works, will it be a Medusa Phoenix?
I'm watching the pod carefully, but judging from how long the flower lasted after the attempt, I don't think it took.

Maybe Medusa should have pollinated the Egret? Which came first, chicken or egg?

The radiata flowered about 3 weeks before the medusa, so I saved a couple pollinia in the fridge.

Update: the pod I pollinated with the radiata pollen seems to be swelling quite a bit more than those I didn't pollinate. Fingers crossed!
