Address all correspondence & orders to: [email protected] (Please mention “Plant Pre-Order” & note the particular show/event or “Mail Order” in the subject line)

This list replaces & supersedes all previous lists. All orders are filled in the order in which they are received and are subject to prior sale.

PLEASE NOTE: Prices are listed in US Dollars

NEW: as of this Pre-Order List, we’ve chosen to separate the different types of Phalaenopsis into their very own sections to make finding the type of Phalaenopsis you like much easier:

Phalaenopsis Categories are now divided into:

Species, Multi-Floral Minis, Micro-Minis, “Big Lip” hybrids, Waxy (often Fragrant) Novelties

& larger-flowering Classic Phalaenopsis in new colors & patterns.

We’ve also expanded our collection of miniature Vandaceous, miniature Dendrobiums & divisions of some of our select

Paphs in addition to 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 2.7” pots as first or second bloomers unless otherwise noted as being fully mature in 4” pots

PLEASE NOTE: Stock quantities of 6 or fewer are noted in parens

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. We reserve the right to withdraw any offering from sale and to limit quantities. We guarantee all plants to be true to 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 culture conditions vary widely.

Although we do our utmost to pack carefully, we are not responsible for damage to buds or flowers due to shipping if buyer specifically requests these plants ~ therefore, risk is assumed by buyer for buds or flowers on plants shipped at this stage

Safe arrival of a healthy orchid plant is guaranteed.

Packing & Shipping Charges:

Based on the total of your order, a minimum of 10% for packing plus the actual FedEx shipping cost will be charged. We use FedEx Ground for all 1-3 day deliveries within our delivery zone since Ground shipping rates are much more reasonable than Air.

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

Additional Shipping Note: FedEx charges an extra $3.50 for “Home Delivery” so many of our clients choose to have their plants

delivered to either their office or to a nearby FedEx Ship Center that accepts “Hold for Pickup” packages ~ those business/FedEx locations always get their deliveries much earlier in the day than the average Home Delivery. If you want to save the additional charge

levied for Home Delivery, please let us know if you have a business address you would like to use, or we can research a FedEx location near you that would accept a Ground or Express package as a “Hold for Pickup”.

SIZE DEFINITIONS:

PF = Previously flowered, fully mature Blooming Size plants F = Currently in flower (single spike unless otherwise noted) B = In bud (single spike unless otherwise noted) SP = In spike, just initiating to medium spike stage (single 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 flowering

PHAL SPECIES:

Most of these 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 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 quicker

growing & more readily available Phal. species.

Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana ‘A09001’ (4N)

(TETRAPLOID FORM of Species)

A dynamite sibbing of this favorite of all

Phal. species ! This population is a tetraploid form, producing more compact leaves and much larger beautifully round flowers with great substance, producing

a long-lasting display with a much smaller footprint than is typical for the species. Gracefully cascading spikes

make for a stunning display !

Note: We just won the IPA Best Phal in Show Trophy when we displayed this

plant with its long cascading & beautifully arranged inflorescence !

Phal. bellina ‘Red Apple’ x self

(FRAGRANT Species)

This particular selfing of ‘Red Apple’ was made to achieve fuller rounder waxy fragrant flowers carrying an intense

flush/blush over all its segments ! ‘Red Apple’ was specifically chosen for its red,

rather than pink, flush, creating a stunning contrast against the creamy

white flowers. Although slower to reach flowering size than many other Phal.

species, it’s more than worth the wait for its fragrance alone in addition to giving us a beautiful presentation during the

hotter months of the year !

We are releasing each plant of this clone as it flowers to assure they were labeled correctly since we did discover that one of this group, so far, was actually Phal.

Phal. speciosa/tetraspis ‘MS#1’

(Red color form of Species)

The taxonomists still cannot necessarily agree on the differences between Phal.

speciosa & Phal. tetraspis so we’ve noted both for this particular clone ! Both this clone and that of fma. imperatrix ‘Red’

flower with solid red fragrant waxy flowers on gently arching to pendulous

inflorescences from spring to winter. Even when the initial flowers have faded,

the still green spike will continue to produce and add more buds while at the same time producing an additional spike or two. The red expressed in the flowers is light and temperature dependent with cooler brighter winter conditions giving the most vivid red color. This clone was

selected for its evenly balanced segments, making a perfect circle within

all its tips, not to mention its intense solid red color !

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.

PLEASE NOTE: With many of the harlequins & the red or orange novelties, differences in light & temperature at various times

of the year will cause some variation to occur 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.

Also, many hybrids with a heavy Harlequin influence will show their boldest and most vivid colors when bloomed under cooler temperatures & brighter light during the fall & winter.

In addition, many of the Novelty-type hybrids with Phal. bellina and/or violacea in their background improve in color intensity

and size with fuller form on their 2nd

& 3rd

flowerings, as do the actual species parents.

MULTI-FLORAL MINIATURES (including Harlequin & Peloric Multi-floral Minis):


Phal. Chia E Yenlin ’LHB08’

(Sogo Yenlin x Formosa Cranberry)

A stunning harlequin-influenced multi-floral miniature ! Its flowers are heavily suffused with harlequin spotting fusing to a dark rich burgundy (darker than our

photo shows) covering most of the flowers, leaving just a charming pink

picotee as a halo around its segments. This particular hybrid also has very attractive silvery-green foliage as

opposed to the traditional dark green leaves of many miniatures. And as first bloomers they’re already rewarding us

with 2-3 compact spikes, with those that were just cut back already spiking yet

again !

also has the harlequin accents from Happy Mark, a Golden Peoker hybrid.

And adding an additional accent to these flowers, it has a rich rosy-red lip with

flattened side-lobes to create a “big lip” appearance. These have produced

amazingly floriferous double spikes as first bloomers in just 3” pots !

accented with bold harlequin blotches centrally making a fabulous display on

readily branching spikes. Added to that are its beautiful silvery-green leaves

of multi-floral miniature yellows, it combines two midi-size parents with

multi-floral minis and miniature harlequins in their background. The

result has been a floriferous non-fading yellow midi, its flowers about 6.8cm (2.5”), accented with a bold red lip &

kissed with a white heart. Great substance coming from both parents

assures a bright & long-lasting display of sunshine !

substance, rich color & light fragrance from its pollen parent, Phal. bellina !

Thick & super compact leaves allow it to be tucked easily into any collection. A

novelty flower, adds its heavy substance, also giving the flowers their beautiful

Multitudes of coerulea-flushed multi-floral miniature flowers are enhanced with darker coerulea splash-flaring on their petals due to the champornensis

form of Phal. pulcherrima that was used in this re-make ! And true to both

parents, it will continue to add buds to its spikes, creating a long-lasting display.

(Unfortunately the photo doesn’t begin to show the intensity of the splash-flaring is

on its petals nor did it truly capture the “blue” of the flowers!) Finished with a

rich dark coerulea lip, these young plants in just 2.5” rose pots have already

produced two spikes. When we saw the mother plant, it was overflowing with 6

branching spikes, creating quite a show !

color seen from across a large greenhouse in Taiwan, we really loved its wonderfully compact leaf span and spike height ~ all in perfect proportion to each

other. Phal. Nobby’s Amy gives this novelty hybrid a better more floriferous display while the pod parent, Tying Shin

Tarzan, brings its brilliant color and heavy substance to the clone.

PLEASE NOTE:

We recently removed these near blooming size plants from their flask & have potted them up

accenting the lip. Its lip is tucked right into the flower, leaving no gap between it & its lateral sepals. Too often we’ve seen this line of breeding show a “big lip” that

drops way down before opening out, making for an awkward and unpleasing presentation when the lip should be the focus. And we do love this solid dark

clone ‘DT168’ of Phal. Dragon Tree Eagle. He commented that it will flower

differently depending on light and temperature, with lower light and higher

temperatures producing flowers with more of their yellow background showing ~ and lower temperatures and higher light

in the cooler months would produce flowers more like the clone ‘Red’. We have yet to flower them during both seasons so we’re just sharing this

information with everyone to explain potential differences in its flowering from

one time of the year to another.

SELECT ONE-OF-A-KIND NOVELTY SEEDLINGS (to be posted as they flower):

Many of our novelty or select seedlings are flowering for the first time for us this summer ~ 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 particular type of breeding is extremely slow to grow to maturity due to the heavy influence of the waxy Phal species in their background. For

this line of breeding 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 line of novelty-type breeding) that it makes much difference in the overall vigor of the plant since their breeding background carries the tendency to retain older spikes. Also, with this kind of breeding, flower form, color and size improve enormously with their 2

nd & 3

rd flowerings. But ~ the real bonus to owning a

One-of-a-Kind plant is that you can give it your own clonal name !

FRAGRANT MINIATURE CHINESE CYMBIDIUMS:

All the species listed below grow & flower easily WITH our Phals under the same light & WARMER temperature

conditions since they are miniature growing Chinese species, requiring much lower light, less space & will grow under warmer temperatures than their larger cousins ~ they also don’t require the extreme chill of standard Cymbidiums in order to make their flower spikes and all tend to flower more than once a year, having no definite flowering season. One of these clones, ‘Tian Cao’, is just 6” in height – perfect for windowsill & under-lights growing !

We are particularly fond of the green & yellow flowering varieties with either delightfully compact or elegantly tall flower spikes. We’ve found that the traditional pale pink-burgundy colored flowers are just too muddy to stand out and make a statement.

The clone ‘Tian Cao’ also has the added charm of VARIEGATED FOLIAGE, meaning it’s attractive, even when not in flower ! Variegated foliage comes at a higher price because it’s greatly prized in Japanese & Chinese cultures, meaning the stronger the variegation, the more expensive the clone.

Den. laevifolium

(Miniature Species)

Just laden with multitudes of brilliant deep electric pink buds & flowers, this

mini-miniature Dendrobium species thrives under Phalaenopsis conditions ! And this particular sib cross has been producing electric rich pink flowers in

multitudes. It’s flowers glow with glossy color & have much heavier substance

than average for a Dendrobium species which equates to a much longer

flowering. An easy grower & great space saver, its long-lasting flowers provide a

display that can last for weeks. Its mature canes will go deciduous, at which point the buds emerge from the apex of each newly matured deciduous cane.

Reduce watering & fertilizer only slightly after flowering until new flowering

growths are initiated.

Den. Ueang Pheung

(jenkinsii x lindleyi)

The particular charm of this FRAGRANT

MICRO MINI is that while it retains the

miniature leaf habit of Den. jenkinsii, it took on the greater floriferousness of Den lindleyi, producing multitudes of large flowers on cascading spikes,

producing more flowers and buds than Den. jenkinsii’s habit of 2-4 flowers per

spike. Will flower any time, fall to spring, on its newly maturing growths !

NOTE: We’ve found this little hybrid

does equally well whether grown in moss or a bark mix – and it readily makes the

transition from moss to bark without missing a beat.

producing a strawberry fragrance. Although we’re growing these in small net

pots, due to their growth habit of widely spaced pseudobulbs many choose to grow

them mounted. Easily grown & flowered under Phalaenopsis conditions of partial shade and warmth, they like to be kept

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 thriving !

into any collection. Large flowers are produced in the fall from the new spring growths bearing stunning salmon-pink

flowers, creating up to 22 flowers on each inflorescence, the flower size being about 1 ¼”. These plants are also benefitting from great hybrid vigor as a result of the mating of two species. Like our comments below

Habenaria rhodocheila

(Species)

We have been amazed at how easy to grow this Habenaria species has been ! Even

when not in flower, their foliage is beautifully marked. We’ve found that if we keep them just slightly moist with a light

spritzing, not wet, when they go deciduous, they produce their spring growths readily. Allowing them to dry

totally will most likely cause their loss over the winter – we know, we used to follow the

culture sheets & did just that – and they never came back ! We’ve also discovered that trying to grow them in a bark mix is

more than challenging, so we’ve switched to growing them in moss. This population

has been extremely vigorous & is well worth adding to every collection. Plus, despite our initial doubts, they LOVE

growing in the New Zealand moss ! We’ve been amazed at how really easy

Habenarias are to grow & flower – just don’t follow any of the culture sheets &

you’ll do great !

Being seedlings, not mericlones, there will be a very slight color variation from one

heavily suffused clones of its parents. A wonderfully compact grower, standing just

8-10” in height, these plants will grow happily under low to medium light, right

next to Phalaenopsis, and their waxy flowers can last for weeks. They can flower

any time of the year in response to the onset of new growths, & we’ve had several flower twice within just two months so they have no particular flowering season ! They will grow equally well under intermediate temperatures although we grow them just a bit warmer with our Phalaenopsis. Keep
