November 2020 MAIL ORDER LIST

www.facebook.com/orchidphile (203) 329-7255

Address all correspondence & orders to: [email protected]

(Please mention “Mail Order” in the subject line)

This list replaces & supersedes all previous lists. All orders are removed from sale in the order in which they are received (if your order is reserved with a credit card) & are subject to prior sale.

We only ship to the continental US (not Hawaii or Alaska) so prices are listed in US Dollars.

PHALAENOPSIS Categories are divided into:

Species, Multi-Floral Minis, Micro-Minis, “Big Lip” hybrids, Waxy (often Fragrant) Novelties & larger-flowering Classic Phalaenopsis in new colors & patterns

Other categories include MINIATURE VANDACEOUS, MINIATURE DENDROBIUMS & divisions of some of our select

PAPHS, MINIATURE/COMPACT CATTLEYAS and MISCELLANEOUS GENERA ~

all of which grow & flower happily with our Phals. Each genus is put into their own category after our Phal. listings.

Most plants are in 2.5-3” pots as first or second bloomers with a few larger plants noted as being in 4” pots. The bulk of our stock is currently growing in New Zealand moss unless otherwise marked.

ORDERING INFORMATION FOR OUR MAIL ORDER CLIENTS:

In the winter or during inclement weather, shipments may be delayed pending more moderate weather conditions. Shipping is either via FedEx Ground or Air depending on the final destination ~ these days Priority Mail requests are at the buyer’s risk. We reserve the

right to withdraw any offering from sale and to limit quantities. We guarantee all plants to be true to their identity to the best of our knowledge. However, since many come in from Taiwan, we have to assume they are properly labeled as to their species or hybrid

name. We make no warranty as to the productiveness of any plants sold since everyone’s growing conditions vary.

Although we do our utmost to pack carefully, we are not responsible for damage to buds or flowers if buyer specifically requests these plants ~ therefore, risk is assumed by buyer for buds or flowers shipped at this stage since factors beyond our control can contribute to

flower or spike damage in transit. Safe arrival of a healthy orchid plant is guaranteed.

Packing & Shipping Charges:

A packing charge of approximately 10% of your order total, plus the actual shipping charge, will be added to your invoice. We use FedEx Ground for most 1-3 day deliveries within our delivery zone (unless otherwise requested)

since Ground shipping rates are much more reasonable than FedEx Air or even USPS Priority Mail. Distances greater than a 3-day Ground delivery will be sent via FedEx Air or Priority Mail (at your risk if requested).

If heat packs are requested, they will be provided for an additional $4.50.

Additional Shipping Note: FedEx adds a surcharge of $3.50 for “Home Delivery” so many of our clients choose to have their plants

delivered either to their office or to a nearby FedEx Ship Center that accepts “Hold for Pickup” packages. In addition, during the colder/hotter months, if we ship to a business address or a “Hold for Pickup” location, your package is not exposed to being on the

delivery vehicle for too long since Business or Hold for Pickup addresses get priority delivery, always before 5PM. So we highly recommend choosing the “Hold for Pickup” option, saving the additional surcharge & further protecting the plants. If you’d like, we can always research a FedEx location near you that accepts “Hold for Pickup’ Ground or Express packages.

TO PLACE YOUR ORDER:

1 ~ Email your order, including your shipping address & phone number, to [email protected] 2 ~ We cannot set aside orders until we have your credit card information to reserve your plants:

As soon as we’ve confirmed receipt of your order, call us at (203) 329-7255 with your credit card info. (This is in adherence to the same policy that all Websites require for orders.)

3 ~ We will then tag, remove your orchids from sale & arrange a shipping date:

PLEASE NOTE: Your card will not be charged until your order is packed

& ready to ship since the carrier’s shipping charges vary, based on box size & destination zip code.

Once your order is packed for shipping you will receive 3 separate confirmation emails:

Your Credit Card Receipt, your orchidPhile Order Receipt & your shipping Tracking Number

SIZE DEFINITIONS:

PF = Previously flowered & fully mature Blooming Size plants (multi-floral minis can flower more than once a year) B/F = Currently in bud and/or in flower (one spike unless otherwise noted) B = In bud (one spike unless otherwise noted) SP = In spike, just initiating to medium spike stage (one spike unless otherwise noted) BS = Blooming size (should flower in season) NBS = Near blooming size (approximately 1 year to flowering in season) S = about 2-3 years to first flowering

Please Note: Since our stock quantities are changing rapidly due to the current abundance of Covid19 mail orders,

we are no longer noting quantities available on most stock since it can vary from one day to the next ~ this also helps avoid disappointment for everyone if we sell out of certain plants quickly.

In case we are sold out of an orchid you might want, we can always suggest a substitute of something very similar.

PHAL SPECIES:

Most of our Phalaenopsis species are from Taiwan & reflect much improved forms & colors, having been sibbed or selfed using very select parents. Species like Phal. bellina, violacea, venosa, speciosa, gigantea, viridis and javanica are extremely

slow to reach maturity & can be easily lost as small seedlings so we’re only offering well-established Near Blooming or Blooming Size plants. As a result of their extra years to reach maturity, the pricing on these plants is higher than is usual for

the quicker growing & more readily available Phal. species.

Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana

‘A09001’ (4N)

(TETRAPLOID FORM of Species)

A dynamite tetraploid form of this classic form of all Phal. species ! This

clone is producing more compact leaves and much larger flowers than is typical

for this subspecies of aphrodite. Its fuller form & beautifully round flowers with the

petals almost touching carries heavy substance & produces a much longer-lasting display with a smaller leaf span than is typical for this species. And the bonus to this particular 4N strain is their naturally & gracefully cascading spikes with the flowers displayed to perfection,

making for a stunning display !

Phal. violacea fma. indigo

(Sib of ‘US’ x ‘JH’)

An exciting new sibbing of the Indigo

form which was created using two select Indigo strains of Phal. violacea indigo

and which has produced some sensational progeny ! This new

generation is the result of a careful selection of its parents based on their

increased vigor and robust root systems, building on HP Norton & Krull Smith’s original strains of Indigo violaceas.

Beautiful richly colored fragrant flowers become their most intense indigo color in

slightly cooler & brighter conditions in the spring & fall. What we love about this

sibbing is the attractively taller spikes creating a perfectly colorful & fragrant

presentation. Like all Phal. violaceas, if their flower spikes remain green, do not remove them since they will continue to

add buds right into the fall & at their next flowering in addition to creating a new

spike or two !

Phal. zebrina (Sib cross of Palawan form of Species: ‘MS’ x self)

Endemic to Myanmar, Thailand, Borneo & Sumatra, this rarely available & fragrant

warm growing waxy species flowers from spring into the summer ! We’ve already flowered a couple from this sib cross &

their flower size & crisp well-defined marks have been sensational. This

species carries horizontal to erect 4+” long spikes, producing over five 1 ½-2”

waxy flowers. Light & temperature during bud/flower formation can affect

the degree of its flower color intensity & this will also vary according to its

particular bloom season. The flower spikes can remain green from one

flowering to the next, continuing to add buds in addition to making additional

new spikes in season !

PHALAENOPSIS HYBRIDS

Most of these clones are the result of cutting-edge Taiwanese breeding programs & are plants we’ve hand-selected from some of the most forward-thinking nurseries during our annual trips to Taiwan to judge their TIOS Orchid Show.

Many of the hybrids with a heavy Harlequin influence or red, yellow or orange in their breeding will show their boldest and most vivid colors when bloomed under cooler temperatures & brighter light during the fall & winter.

MULTI-FLORAL MINIS & MULTI-FLORAL MIDIS (including Harlequins & Splash-Petals):

Much to our amazement, many of our Minis & Midis have already spiked again for the second time this year ! This tendency

to flower more frequently is due in large part to today’s select breeding using more vigorous cutting-edge parents. *** We’re defining “MULTI-FLORAL MIDI” as those that produce flowers that are around 2 ½” to 3” in size.


Phal. Fuller’s Gold Stripe

’A09168’

Producing flowers slightly larger in size

(2 ½”) than the OX clone, its color is more intense due to a heavier overlay of the

red candy striping, giving the appearance of orange ! These are vigorously growing

plants as first bloomers with nice compact leaf spans. A definite step up

from the older hybrid of Baldan’s Kaleidoscope without the downside of that hybrid’s large flowers, super tall

spikes & huge leaf spans !

Phal. KS Sweet Diamond

’Pink Salmon’

(Ching Ann Diamond x Sogo Golden)

A great mating of a multi-floral miniature

with a waxy novelty producing a great new direction in this line of breeding ! Ching Ann Diamond, a rich pink multi-

floral, brings floriferousness to this hybrid while Sogo Golden, a waxy yellow novelty flower, adds its heavy substance,

also giving the flowers their beautiful sunset/salmon color. As with many of

this type of breeding, cooler temperatures & brighter light produce an

even more intense flower color. A sensational & extremely long-lasting

display with glowing color !

Phal. Lioulin Berry ‘LM123’

(Formosa Cranberry x Nankung’s 4.55 PM)

Lightly kissed with a touch of harlequin

from both parents, its pristine chalk white flowers set off the burgundy accents to

perfection ! Both parents are multi-floral miniatures, their flower size being under

2.5” & this clone can produce quite a floriferous display. Light & temperature differences as the buds form, or the time of year, can influence the intensity of its

harlequin accents so often no two flowers may be exactly identical,

always a fun surprise !

Phal. Lioulin Violin ’A11402’

(Chian Xen Violin x Chia E Yenlin)

This particular clone of Phal. Lioulin

Violin is remarkably different from other clones of this hybrid with a strong

doubled-up harlequin influence coming from both parents. The pollen parent,

Chia E Yenlin, is further intensified by the addition of even more harlequin influence

from its Chian Xen Violin parentage ! This is a real little stunner with elegantly tall spikes over nice compact leaf spans.

As first bloomers they had already produced two branching spikes & after

being cut back just 5 months ago, they’re already spiking again. As they reach full maturity we’re expecting them to show

off with the ultimate harlequin bouquet !

Carrying the charmingly broad lips and flower size of the more difficult to grow

species, Phal. parishii, this easy-to-grow hybrid has it all ! This clone of Liu’s

Berry has a gentle suffusion of soft pink outlining & dusting all its segments, each

flower brilliantly accented with a rich fluorescent pink parishii-type lip. These little wonders had just finished flowering

when they spiked again ! With a great compact leaf span & equally compact

gently cascading spikes, this little gem fits easily into any collection & can flower

twice or more a year !

A select clone, for its rich color intensity,

of this great new harlequin multi-floral midi ! The flowers on this clone are

around 2 ½”in size, beautifully presented on branching cascading spikes. The

harlequin spotting pattern has fused to a rich blackened-burgundy and is quite a dramatic contrast against the pink and

white background of the flower. While in just 2.7” pots, our first group of these

had already flowered once with 2 branching spikes & just 4 months later

were already spiking again. This particular group has produced amazingly robust thick spikes, leading us to believe

their flowering will be sensationally branched. Can flower twice a year !

Phal. Pure Moon ‘Green Pixie’

(Timothy Christopher x Brother Lawrence)

Creating a virtual cloud of soft yellow-

green, this multi-floral mini is an amazingly vigorous grower ! We also like the roundness of its flowers as opposed

to the starry shape which is all too common in other yellow multi-floral

miniatures. In addition, its pollen parent, Brother Lawrence, adds substance to the

flowers providing a longer-lasting display. And the pod parent, Timothy

Christopher, contributes to its amazing floriferousness. These flowered for the first time in just 2 ½” pots. As pictured

on the top left from the Taiwan Show, it’s also capable of producing basal keikis from a fully mature mother plant which,

when all flower at the same time, produce an outrageous display !

equally compact leaf spans. Producing amazingly full form beautifully round flowers, rivaling some of the best full

form flowers we only see in large standard whites, this is one superior mini

to add to every collection. These just finished flowering, bearing 2 branching

spikes in just 2.5” pots & are already spiking again ! Ideal for under-lights,

This is one of the newest & most exciting

cutting-edge directions in clear yellow multi-floral mini breeding ! Liu’s Twilight

Rainbow is a vigorous multi-mini from Mr. Liu’s breeding program ~ mated with our favorite waxy yellow novelty, Sogo

Meili, the result has been a multi-spiking new hybrid producing 2” brilliant yellow

flowers in abundance on branching spikes, complete with the contrasting

accent of a white heart around its column from the Sogo Meili pollen parent. The result has been a multi-floral mini with long-lasting heavy substance flowers presented in perfect proportion to the

leaves. We also love its more upright leaf habit, making it a very compact grower.

A fabulous little bouquet of bright sunshine ~ and thanks to its parentage, it can easily flower more than once a year !

Each flower is beautifully set off by a white column & intense velvety rich blue

lip. These are amazingly vigorous & floriferous plants, capable of producing two or more branching spikes as they

reach full maturity in addition to producing a keiki or two on a spike or

basally. Its blue color will be more intense under warmer & shadier

conditions ~ it can vary according to the time of year when it flowers with its best

As first bloomers in just 2.7” pots, these plants produced beautifully cascading spikes & are now spiking again ! With attractively & lightly mottled leaves, in perfect proportion to the spikes, this

hybrid is a much easier grower than the difficult Hilo Lip, thanks to the pollen

parent’s influence. Yet it maintains that beautiful pristine white lip in contrast to

the rich pink flower. And its softly mottled foliage from its Phal. schilleriana breeding background makes it a pleasure to enjoy year ‘round. This one can’t help

American Orchid Society for this spectacular clone ! VA is not a boo-boo on the clonal name of these plants ~ VA stands for “Variant” ! These are a mega

SENSATIONAL clonal shift from the original older clone of ‘Taida Little Zebra’ (pictured at top). This fabulous shift has

heavily emboldened the harlequin striping on the flowers, creating a

stunning & dramatically dark presentation right to the tips of each

segment. Same compact gently cascading spikes ~ same flowering habit ~ our photo doesn’t even begin to show how dramatically marked & emboldened the flowers really are. A “gutsy” flower with even heavier substance, these are

head & shoulders more stunning than the original clone of ‘Taida Little Zebra’ & are one of our specially selected “must have”

that are blooming true to the splash-petal parent with the remaining stock reverting back to the original solid salmon multi-

mini (top photo). And a few of the splash-petal plants have produced

charming “peloric” flowers. Fabulous compact leaf spans with perfectly

proportioned spikes, ideal for the space-challenged growers. We hand-selected those plants that were bearing leaves with dark striations on their reverse which is a guarantee that they will

produce splash-petal flowers !

Our newest & most exciting find, this multi-floral mini is RED ! A mix of an art shade multi-mini with a rich pink multi-

mini has created a little wonder that readily produces 2 or more heavily branched compact spikes over very

compact leaf spans. And thanks to its pod parent, its buds are very slow to open on the spikes with much longer-

lasting flowers due to their heavier substance than is typical for multi-floral

minis. When flowered in the cooler & brighter months, the flowers are rich red ~ when bloomed under warmer & shadier conditions, they’re a deep pink-red due to their pink heritage. What we particularly love about this hybrid is the distinctive contrast of its white column against the

red full-form flowers leading to a striking display. Can flower twice a year !

A slightly different clone of Phal Younghome Sweety as opposed to the

striping is more lightly expressed in this clone, creating a central blush while

allowing the yellow background of the flower to”shine” & revealing a central

white heart right around the column. Its leaf span is also more compact than

“BIG LIP” & PELORIC HYBRIDS:

One of the most important factors in today’s “Big Lip” breeding is a large flat lip that is almost identical to the petals ! We have seen some pretty poor hybrids in this new line of breeding over the past 2-3 years, with their “big lips” either cupped or

crippled, or with the “lip” dropping so far down from the other segments of the flower that you could drive a truck right through it ! The clones we choose to carry must have a beautiful broad flat lip tucked right up into the flower itself so it gives the definite impression of a 3-petal ~ or 3-lip ~ flower. There have been only a few so far that meet those standards for us, &

we’re excited to be able to share some of them with everyone.

SUPER-MINIS ~ PERFECT FOR SPACE-CHALLENGED COLLECTIONS:

These smaller growing Phalaenopsis are ideal for tucking into any space-challenged collection. Their leaf spans are much smaller than those of multi-floral miniatures, & they produce multitudes of smaller charming flowers. Many have been bred from smaller flowering or growing Phalaenopsis species like Phal. lobbii, parishii & pulcherrima ~ and they usually flower

more than once a year, with many from this type of breeding continuing to add additional buds & flowers on previously bloomed spikes while continuing to add an additional new spike or two.

As we add more of these to our collection, we’ll update their listings here.

WAXY ~ OFTEN FRAGRANT ~ BRIGHTLY-COLORED NOVELTIES:

This group of Waxy Novelties includes limited Stem Props & Poly Props from Taiwan. As mentioned under Phal. species, due

to the heavy influence of the slower-growing species of Phal. bellina, violacea, lueddemanniana, amboinensis & venosa in their breeding backgrounds, it often takes an additional year or two for these hybrids to reach flowering size as opposed to a standard Phalaenopsis. But once they do, they’re well worth the wait for their vivid color, thick long-lasting waxy flowers & amazing fragrances. They also have a tendency to produce basal keikis from the mother plant for the ultimate presentation.

In addition, many of these Novelty-type hybrids improve even more in their color intensity and size while adding fuller form on their 2

nd & 3

rd flowerings. They will often retain previously flowered green spikes, continuing to add more buds to them, while

still producing additional spikes ~ within a couple of years these plants can be surrounded with multiple spikes in full flower for a sensational show to please all the senses !

OF SPECIAL NOTE: With many of the blue, red or orange novelties, differences in light & temperature at various times of the

year can cause some variation in the flower color and/or intensity of their markings. Under warmer temperatures & more shaded conditions in the summer, many red novelty-type hybrids with yellow or orange in their breeding background will

flower showing more of the influence of those colors. Under cooler temperatures & brighter light in the fall to winter months, the red pigment in the flowers is more strongly expressed resulting in solid to nearly solid red flowers. Plus, many of the

Novelty-type hybrids with Phal. bellina and/or violacea in their breeding background improve in color intensity and size, with even fuller form, on their 2

nd & 3

rd flowerings, just like their species parents.


Phal. Brother Sara Gold ‘A05724’

Phal. Brother Sara Gold has always been one of our all-time favorites for its

barred Phal. amboinensis & harlequin parent, Haur Jin Diamond, in its breeding

background. Truly dramatic !

MICRO-MINIS ~ PERFECT FOR SPACE-CHALLENGED COLLECTIONS:

These smaller growing Phalaenopsis are ideal for tucking into any space-challenged collection. Their leaf spans are much smaller than those of multi-floral miniatures & they produce multitudes of smaller charming flowers. Many have been bred

from smaller growing Phalaenopsis species like Phal. lobbii, parishii & pulcherrima ~ and they usually flower more than once a year, with many from this type of breeding continuing to add additional buds & flowers on previously bloomed spikes while

continuing to add a new spike or two. As we add more of these to our collection, we’ll update their listings here.

SELECT ONE-OF-A-KIND NOVELTY SEEDLINGS:

Many of our novelty or select seedlings flowered for the first time for us this spring into fall ~ and with Phal. bellina in the background of many, as first bloomers they will initially produce only 1-3 flowers on their first spikes. This type of breeding

is extremely slow to reach flowering-size maturity due to the heavy influence of the slower-growing & fragrant waxy Phal. species in their breeding background.

With these waxy novelties, we leave any still-green spikes on the plants since they will most likely add more buds to these spikes in addition to producing new spikes at their next flowering. Some people choose to remove the initial spikes & give

the energy back to the plant. However, we’ve never noticed (with this novelty-type breeding) that it makes much difference in the overall vigor of the plant since their parentage carries the habit of retaining older spikes. Also, their flower form, color

and size improve enormously with their 2nd

& 3rd

flowerings. But ~ the real bonus to owning a One-of-a-Kind plant is that you can give it your own clonal name !

As they flower we number & photograph each one for sale ~ they’ll be showcased on our monthly Mail Order Lists in addition

to being shared on our Facebook page & when available, on the Facebook page of Orchids, Trade & Sale. Keep your eyes open for these postings since once released, these select plants often sell quickly.

Phal. Penang Girl

(venosa x violacea fma. indigo)

This seedling population has been

amazingly consistent in the wonderfully fragrant sunset/art shade flowers it has

produced ! Phal. venosa, the pod parent, has given these a coppery-green

background, bearing the typical venosa halo around the column ~ and being

overlaid & suffused with the violacea fma. indigo parent, the result has been

fragrant waxy flowers in dark salmon to rich sunset tones with great form. As a

finishing touch, violacea fma. indigo has also added a “blue” touch to their lips.

Its compact spikes are initially produced just above the compact leaf spans ~

those spikes can remain green, continuing to elongate by adding buds &

flowers in addition to producing additional spikes in season. A great

long-lasting shot of color & fragrance for any collection !

Phal. Valentinii

(cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae x violacea fma. indigo)

One of our seedlings from this group was just granted an AM/AOS to our

client, Carlos Fighetti !

This seedling population of a great new primary hybrid has been nothing short of amazing for the consistency of its waxy

non-fading dark red color and its tendency, even as first bloom seedlings,

to produce 2 or more spikes ! True to many novelty hybrids, both parents tend to produce spikes which remain green & continue to produce buds & flowers in

addition to creating new spikes in season. Plus Phal. cornu-cervi has the

added ability to flower off & on year ‘round, so this little hybrid tends to add additional buds & flowers sporadically

throughout the year. And, of course, it’s FRAGRANT !

OUR SELECT CLONE !

The progeny from this sibbing of the blue form of this species has been nothing

short of sensational, a result of the original breeding programs of HP Norton & Krull-Smith, now bred on a few more generation to achieve these amazing

results ! Every seedling we’ve flowered so far has exhibited its super rich blue color right to the tips of its segments,

with flat & full form. This plant has one spike which is currently flowering on a branch from its original spike of a year

ago ~ its spike remained green & elongated just beyond the leaves for the

perfect presentation. And its fragrance is delightful, probably the best of all

fragrant Phalaenopsis species ~ this particular seedling group (from a premier Taiwan hybridizer) is definitely one of the very best results from all the sibbings & selfings we’ve seen from other nurseries

OTHER GENERA WHICH GROW & FLOWER HAPPILY UNDER PHALAENOPSIS CONDITIONS

MINIATURE VANDACEOUS:

All these species & hybrids grow & flower easily WITH our Phals under the same light & temperature conditions since they are miniature growers, requiring much lower light than their larger-growing & flowering cousins. We’re growing them in small plastic baskets, with just a little media in the bottom of each basket, to allow their roots to dry slightly between

waterings. We then rest the rims of these little baskets onto the rims of deep rose pots, allowing the roots to continue to grow down from the basket into the empty bottom of the rose pot. This is our own approach to the growing method of “collaring” which the Vandaceous seem to love. These are mostly miniature ~ with a few compact ~ growing species & hybrids, many of which will readily form basal keikis to become beautiful specimen miniatures producing multitudes of spikes at the same time on all of their mature growths. And many of them are also delightfully FRAGRANT !

Angraecum leonis

(Species)

Endemic to the Comoro Islands, this

fragrant species, unlike many Vandaceous, needs more frequent

watering to help keep its fan-shaped flattened leaves plump ! It produces

large waxy pristine white flowers, up to 3” in size, with 1-7 long lasting flowers on

each spike. But the real charm of this species is its wonderful jasmine-scented

first group of these seedlings, surprised us with their very first spikes. Although

the flowers can vary in their degree of red or red/orange according to light &

temperature, our first few of these to flower have produced miniature vivid orange-red flowers as a result of this combination of the two different color

MINIATURE TO COMPACT CATTLEYAS:

We’ve expanded our collection of miniature to compact Cattleyas (many of them Tetraploid breeding) for their ability to thrive & flower under the same conditions as Phalaenopsis, in addition to many of them rewarding us with twice a year blooming ! Contrary to popular belief, they don’t require the same high light that larger members of the Cattleya family need & they’re

happy growing under warm to intermediate temperatures. Also, their flower color intensifies after a few days from first opening as each flower fully matures. They’re the perfect addition to any collection, especially collections that are space,

bearing large 1 ¾” broad crystalline white heart-shaped lips, readily becoming a specimen within a year or two ~ our

specimen plant of this is again flowering after having just finished its February

blooming. Give it high Phalaenopsis light and allow for good drainage to the point

where the medium begins to dry out. We’ve grown these in bark mixes in a pot

& in New Zealand moss in a plastic basket with no problems either way. Its

terete leaves indicate it doesn’t need high humidity ~ and if getting enough light, it will show red spots on its leaves. The flowers are as large as nodosa but the

As a side note, all the Oncidinae are growing in New Zealand moss which they seem to love ~ we never would have believed they would do so beautifully in this medium ! The moss not only helps maintain a nice even moisture in the pot, but it also

helps the plant retain plumper pseudobulbs while adding to the vigor of the plant’s new growths. We’ve been amazed at the difference the moss makes for all these plants as opposed to growing them in a bark mix.

out a pendulous, robust inflorescence bearing fragrant, waxy, long-lasting

flowers up to 3” in size. Large showy flowers can literally dwarf the miniature

size of the plant and pseudobulbs. We’ve found that this little species is amazingly

easy to grow & flower under Phalaenopsis conditions. The leaves will drop in the fall after flowering, at which point we reduce watering & fertilizing

through the winter, but we do recommend keeping the medium damp to

avoid shriveling its pseudobulbs. With the onset of new growth in the spring, we resume normal watering/fertilizing. This species does not like to be repotted with any great frequency so we wait until new growths are literally overflowing the pot to shift them up to the next larger size.

Clowesetum Rebecca Express ‘M’

(Cl. Rebecca Northen x Ctsm. expansum)

Easily grown under Phalaenopsis conditions, this is one outrageous new

green-flowered hybrid mating the best of two worlds ~ the green of expansum enhanced by the frilly lip of Rebecca

Northen ! Its wonderful fragrance comes from both parents with Ctsm. Rebecca Northen, which smells like grapefruit, combined with the sweet fragrance of Ctsm. expansum. Allow them to dry

slightly between waterings while in active growth & flowering. After they’ve lost their leaves & have finished flowering, reduce water & fertilizer, keeping the medium just damp enough to avoid

shriveling of their pseudobulbs. At the onset of new growth, accompanied by new roots, resume normal watering & fertilizing. One of the most exotic of

exotics !

Fredclarkeara After Dark

’Sunset Valley Orchids’ FCC/AOS

(Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise)

Easily grown under Phalaenopsis conditions, this particular clone of

Fredclarkeara After Dark produces tawny green flowers, heavily spotted maroon over all ! Its heavy substance flowers

with a waxy texture lead to a long-lasting display. In 2005 this plant was the

recipient of the Merritt W. Huntington Award as the most outstanding plant that

had been granted an FCC/AOS. When awarded with its FCC, it was vigorously displaying 48 flowers on three pendant inflorescences, all emerging from just one pseudobulb ! A great exhibit plant and a stunner when in flower. These

plants are now just completing their new leafy growths in preparation for

fall/winter flowering.

Of special note: We shifted our exhibit plants of Fredclarkeara into New Zealand

moss as an experiment to keep the deciduous growths plump & have noted that its even moisture supply helps keep the older pseudobulbs from desiccating while giving increased vigor to the new growths. We have since moved all our

stock of this type into NZ Moss & they’re happily thriving !

Maxillaria tenuifolia

‘Yamada’ AM/AOS

(Yellow form of Species)

The beloved ‘Coconut Orchid’, aptly named for its coconut fragrance, in the

more rare rich yellow form ! A compact grower, it can become a specimen in a short period of time due to its ease of

growth. And its grass like foliage makes it attractive, even when not in flower. A May – July bloomer, these plants have

just matured their new growths & are now producing their flowers from spikes

which emerge from the base of each new pseudobulb. Keep them moist enough to

maintain their plump pseudobulbs & grow under high Phalaenopsis light. Reduce watering & fertilizing slightly

during the winter. Adaptable to a generous range of growing conditions, this is one easy-grower that belongs in

every collection !

Onc. Sweet Sugar

‘Lemon Drop’ HCC/AOS

(now Oncidesa)

(Aloha Iwanaga x Gomesa varicosa)

This is our favorite clone of this hybrid for its concolor electric yellow flowers,

with no other color in the lip, which makes it infinitely more stunning than

other clones of this hybrid ! Capable of producing over sixty flowers & buds with

huge bold 2 ¼” lips on vigorous multi-branching spikes, its heavy substance

satiny flowers provide a long-lasting and amazingly floriferous display. Although its vivid lip is outstanding, we also love

the subtle contrast of its small green petals & sepals. Add to all of that, the plants themselves produce beautiful

round pseudobulbs with very compact leaves standing around 9” tall. We’ve

actually had one plant of this clone last beautifully through two rigorous months of show exhibits & still look as fresh as

the day it opened. This is a true standout to add to any collection !

Thecopus maingayi

(MINIATURE Species)

Endemic to Thailand, Malaysia,

Vietnam & Borneo, this miniature species is just one of two in this genus ! A

hot/warm growing, shade-loving species, found growing in lowland stream valleys, it’s very happy growing under the same

conditions as Phalaenopsis ! Its 1” waxy flowers appear from summer into the fall on inflorescences arising from the base

of each maturing pseudobulb, their cascading spikes being up to 5” long &

bearing up to 10 citrus-fragranced flowers on each. After flowering, if all the

leaves drop off, reduce watering & fertilizing, doing just enough to keep the

flattened pseudobulbs plump. At the onset of new growth with bright new roots in the spring, resume normal

watering & fertilizing. A unique addition to any miniature species collection !

Wilhelmara Pinot Princess

’Scary’

(Rhynchostele bictoniensis x Bratonia Kauai’s Choice)

A great new hybrid combining one of our most favorite “black” Brassia-type

hybrids (Bratonia Kauai’s Choice) with a species parent which is famous for its floriferousness ! Producing the same

dark, almost black, flowers as Bratonia Kauai’s Choice, this hybrid sports a

brilliant red lip as opposed to the white lip of Kauai’s Choice. Showing off with

eye-catching waxy 4-5” flowers, these are unique not only for their almost-black

sepals & petals but also for the surprise of their dramatically contrasting red lips.

A new favorite of ours !

(NOTE: Although the petals & sepals

appear brown in this photo, they are actually a blackened burgundy)

Zed. Kukoo

(Zelenkoa onusta x Onc. cheirophorum) We just love this newest petite micro-

miniature find from the Oncidium family ~ and unfortunately cannot obtain any

more ! As a primary intergeneric hybrid of two perfectly delightful miniature species, it’s capable of producing a

multitude of small bright yellow flowers on arching, often branching, spikes over

its micro-miniature foliage, the foliage being no more than 3-4” in height. This little charmer is infinitely easier to grow than its species parentage & flowers any time of the year, at least twice a year as its new growths mature. A delightfully adorable little accent orchid, perfect for windowsill, space-challenged or under

lights growing !
