Paphiopedilum Bo Ying Chow (Pinocchio 'Plum Mousse' x bellatulum)

---

This new and beautiful hybrid has everything you could ask for -- substance, flower size, compact growth habit, multiple blooms and incredible beauty. Expect creamy white flowers with burgundy spots and possibly some stripes. This particular remake used our own wide-wing span, huge dorsal, richly colored clone of Pinocchio. These were fast to germinate and show vigorous growth in the flask. They should continue to grow quickly and easily for you outside the flask.

Pahiopedilum fairrieanum ('Hidden Pippen' x album) x sib

---

Of all paph species, this is my favorite with its purple stripes against a white background and undulate petals and dorsal. This species imparts these traits to its offspring, including the oh-so-lovely hybrid, Paph. Angela, another of my favorites.

The two parents of this grex are quality parents from the Orchid Zone. A previous cross using 'Hidden Pippen' (fairrieanum album 'Green Acres' x 'Hidden Pippin') produced some albums. According to the laws of heredity, in order for that to happen, 'Hidden Pippen' would have to have a recessive album gene. That is good news for our cross, meaning that it too, will produce album progeny, approximately 25%. Accordingly, each flask can contain approximately 25% coloratum (with 2 dominant color genes), 50% coloratum (with one dominant coloratum gene and one recessive album gene), and 25% album plants (with 2 recessive album genes).

These freshly replated flasks are showing healthy growth and should be ready for release this fall. Once out of the flask, we expect them to continue to show robust growth. They will mature small and compact so you can expect blooms relatively soon.

Paphiopedilum lowii x Pinocchio 'Always Blooming'

Mating a multifloral with a sequential bloomer could yield an almost never-ending supply of flowers in shades of pinks, greens and burnished golds. The lowii parent is in a 6" pot and at last blooming had 3 spikes of 4 and 5 blooms each. The Pinocchio parent was used as a pollen parent in April of 2007 and was still in bloom on the same spike in October 2008. What I love about Pinocchio is its ability to bloom almost nonstop while at the same time grow and mature a new growth so that when the current spike is finished, it will have a new spike developing to continue the show.

These husky plants are growing well in flask and should continue this vigorous growth outside the flask. Supply is limited.

 

Paphiopedilum Pinocchio x fairrieanum

---

If you love fairrieanums but hate figuring out how to grow them, then you are going to love this cross. It is very similar to Paph. Elfin Charm. The flowers look a lot like Paph. fairrieanum, but way easier to grow and bloom. And add to this the possibility of multiple flowers per inflorescence.

In the flask, the plants are showing excellent growth. We expect to be able to ship finished flasks by early fall.

Paphiopedilum Venus Ward x delenatii

---

The Venus Ward parent is one half venustum and retains the venustum appearance. That combined with the round delenatii should result in a flower with rounded petals and possibly green striped dorsal. Quantities are limited. The few flasks that are available look awesome.

Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi

---

This species is seldom offered in flask and this offering is very limited as well. While researching it on the web, we ran across this excellent photo page devoted exclusively to this species. Two flasks only, 20 plants each.

Prosthechia garciana x self

---

Maturing at a height of only 8-10 inches, this species is one of those great things that come in small packages. This is an easy grower that produces pendant spikes of delicate, pinkish lavendar flowers. In the lab we saw germination in 3 weeks and vigorous growth once replated. This one is truly a gem.

Sedirea japonica x self

---

This Japanese native is grown similar to a phalaenopsis. It bears beautiful creamy white flowers with fuscia colored cross bars that exude the aroma of lemon and jasmine combined. A mature plant can have several spikes in bloom which means you can unplug the plug-in air freshener!

These plants are growing nicely in the flask and will be ready for shipment early this summer.

Stanhopea Gary Baker (Assidensis x jenishiana)

---

As with all stanhopeas, this hybrid will need to be grown in a basket to acommodate it's pendulous inflorescences. To see what an awarded plant looks like in bloom, view this photo. These plants are doing well in flask. It won't be long until they will be ready to come out.

Stanhopea inodora

---

Flowers of this species are often creamy white, sometimes with some mahagonay spotting. Contrary to its name, it exudes a delicious fragrance often associated with cinnamon or cloves. These are growing well in the flask.

Zygopetalum mackayi

---

Heralded by many as the headiest of all orchid fragrances, these flowers will easily fill a room with their aroma. These plants are growing vigorously in flask. Out of the flask, they can grow like weeds! We once had a specimen in a 12" pot that produced 7 spikes! That's enough to smell up the whole back yard!

In the flask, they are really growing beautifully and should be ready for release NOW!
