Orchids are a source of incalculable aesthetic pleasure. • A Hybrid is defined as the progeny of two plants of diverse species, genera or varieties. Hybrids are the result of crossing two different types which may, or may not, be closely related. • Orchid species are crossed between species of the same genus ("intrageneric") or between species of different genera ("intergeneric")

  3. …Introduction To Hybrid Orchids • The first orchid hybrid to flower (1856) was Calanthedominyi (C.furcata x C.masuca), a cross made by John Dominyi. • To date, more than 1,25,000 hybrids have been registered in the official hybrid list of the Royal Horticultural Society, London. John Dominyi

  10. Step : 5 • It may take few to many years for an orchid hybrid to flower.

  11. Step : 6 • Once a hybrid has been acclaimed for its beauty, it is then multiplied using a technique called tissue culture. • After a few months, many small growths appear, each of which produces a tiny orchid plant.
