✿ ✿ ✿ Phalaenopsis schilleriana is also fertile when bred with some other Vandae genera . This opens some exciting hybrid possibilities . Remember that hybrids of reciprocal crosses ( A x B and B x A ) are registered with the same hybrid names by the International Orchid Register despite containing chloroplast DNA from different parents ( genera ). Reciprocal crosses may be very different or not be fertile at all . Currently there are 11 nothogenera registered .
