1st time pollinating (? hybrid?)

Hello I recently have been doing a lot of research on orchids and want to try to grow some from seed. Yesterday I cross pollinated 2 of my orchids that were in bloom just for the sake of doing it. They just happened to be the only 2 in bloom and I actually still had the name tag for both orchids. I am going to post pictures of both of them with the name tags but have to do it seperate as I can only post 1 picture...I didn't realize that one wasn't a phal until after I pollinated. I just want to know what others with orchid experience think about the cross between the 2 and if you think they will work or look good together (granted I get past the seed sowing and germinating successfully) I currently have a tolumina seed pod about to be ready for sowing so I am going to try my first attempt with that and hope for the best. I have no idea what it was pollinated with unfortunately but I'm still going to try as it interests me.
