orchid size issue

[massaman]

I know i read where the female orchid can get to be four and a half inches long and what not but I had thought I had a male and a female but now i know that I have two males and just was thinking was my orchids a victim of inbreeding as some are!

Males are very small. What does inbreeding have to do with anything?

Our orchids do not get that long.

Orchid females do not get that big! 3 and a half inches would be considered huge for an orchid female. Inbreeding would have nothing to due with gender determination.

Well had heard that too much inbreeding of this species could make the male sterile and unable to fertilize ooths and size prob does not matter but inbreeding prob would!
