Exceptionally high quality full round pristine white flowers are produced on this beautifully variegated-leaf clone of this classic species – making the plant equally attractive whether in flower or not !

ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
NOT MERICLONES !
Phal. deliciosa ‘Rheagan’ BS $ 28
(SELECT CLONE of Species) NEW !
‘Rheagan’ has been our most (Limited) floriferous & beautifully marked clone from this species population – and happily, it gives us a keiki or two each year. We’ve found that under our growing conditions this species, like many Phal. species of its type, prefers to be grown a little shadier than the higher-light waxy-flowered summer-
blooming species.
KEIKI FROM OUR MOTHER PLANT !
NBS $ 48 Phal. doweryensis (Limited) (RARE Species)
Rarely available, this species is happiest grown under lower Phal. light. Produces waxy flowers on very compact spikes.
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
BS $ 42 Phal. javanica NEW ! (Species)
Not often available, this strain is the (Limited) result of a sibbing of two select forms. Very compact pendulous spikes produce small flowers cascading over or between compact round leaves.
MINIATURE SPECIES
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
NBS/BS $ 42 Phal. lindenii NEW ! (Species)
The result of sibbing two select clones Mounted of this rarely available species, its beautifully mottled leaves provide a (Very backdrop for gracefully cascading Limited) spikes of small peppermint-striped flowers, beautifully accented with pink striping & a bright pink flush in the striped lip.
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
BS $ 45 Phal. maculata SP $ 55 (VERY RARE Species)
Similar in its bold marks to Phal. NEW ! mariae, but producing slightly flatter flowers with crisp & dramatic deep red barring on a pure white flower – all on a very compact flower spike. An easy- growing Phal. species which is always difficult to find. Will re-flower from old spikes in addition to producing new.
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
Phal. mariae NBS/BS $ 38
(Rarely Available Species)
This species has all but disappeared in SP $ 48 cultivation. Unfortunately, many plants found their way into this country NEW ! mislabeled as Phal. mariae when they were actually Phal. bastianii. Phal. mariae is easily recognized by its perpendicular flower spikes and bold blotching on its slightly cupped creamy-white flowers. We’ve already flowered a few from this population last July & it is the TRUE Phal. mariae. Will re-flower from old spikes in addition to producing new.
FRAGRANT ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
BS $ 42 Phal. modesta
(Species)
Another miniature Phal. species producing short spikes of petite white flowers basally, marked with varying degrees of pink patterning.
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
BS $ 38 Phal. schilleriana ‘Pink Butterfly’ AM/CCM/AOS Limited
(Species)
A beautiful spring-flowering species with beautifully mottled leaves – this particular clone is an amazingly strong grower for the species. Adding to its attractiveness are the beautifully mottled leaves of this particular clone ! A vigorous grower, unlike many others of this species, with firm leaves & heavier substance flowers. Although we have not had it tested, we suspect that this re-cloning of ‘Pink Butterfly’ produced a tetraploid population with its increased vigor and larger flowers.
MULTIFLORAL MINIATURES & COMPACT-GROWING BRIGHTLY COLORED NOVELTIES:
Again, most of these clones were created as a result of the excellent Taiwanese breeding programs.
Selections below were hand-picked from selected nurseries in Taiwan over the last seven years.
Of Special Note: We will also be bringing, to each show, a selection of first-bloom one-of-a-kind seedlings grown from flasks of brand new directions in hybrid breeding which we’ve obtained and grown to flowering size – they include hybrids from Brother Orchids, Tying Shin Orchids and several other cutting-edge Taiwanese hybridizers.

It’s a mating of the best of both parents, with Phal. lobbii giving it that wonderful lip and fuller flower form and Phal. tetraspis giving the influence of a taller spike and heavier substance flowers with a touch of light pin-dotting over all.

&
Dtps. (Yu Pin Dream Girl x Phal. World Class ‘Big Foot’)
One of a kind hybrid seedlings – NOT a mericlone !
Having just returned from my annual trip to Taiwan, I was pleased to find many of these “broad lip” hybrids at the show, some of which were entered for AOS judging & several of which we awarded, including a couple of multi-floral miniatures with its Phal. World Class parent giving them the same ‘broad lip’.
These hybrids and some first-bloom seedlings of multifloral miniatures from Tying Shin Orchids, and the newest - a knockout harlequin of Dtps. Yu Pin Dream Girl x Phal. World Class - will be available in limited quantities, as they flower, at various events.
So far only about 15% of these broad lip hybrids have been flowering with the peloric “broad lip” – therefore, our plants have been hand-selected (once they have flowered) for this lip – each one is different as to its lip formation and flower color, a very few of which are flowering almost pure white – no two are alike !
Not available for Pre-Order due to variation – come early for the best selection !
NOTE: The nursery we obtained these hybrids from is no longer releasing them due to their amazing popularity. Mericlones of several will be available in 4-5 years. In the meantime, we will be releasing the rest of our stock on these.
Phal. Yushan Green Pixie F $ 33 ’Charm’
(Timothy Christopher x Chang Maw Evergreen)
A perfect little miniature for under-lights or windowsill growing due to its very compact spikes & small leaf span ! Although these plants are in small 3”
pots, they’re already producing 3-4 branching very compact spikes. When fully mature, we expect them to form basal keikis, adding even more to their showy display. And, YES, they are yellow-green flowers, just like they appear in the close-up picture, due to green on the back of each flower which shows through to the front. The ideal little hybrid for those of us who are “space-challenged” !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
BS $ 22 Phal. Zuma’s Pixie ’Taida Little Cutie’ (Limited)
(Carmela’s Pixie x equestris)
Always one of our most favorite of miniatures for its compact display, compact leaf span & brilliant rich pink flowers.

MULTI-FLORAL MINI !

OTHER GENERA:
All the plants listed below grow & flower easily WITH our Phals under the same light & temperature conditions since they are miniature growing species or miniature forms of the hybrids, requiring much lower light than their larger cousins. We’ve expanded our collection of miniature Dendrobium and Vandaceous hybrids thanks to new breeding trends – they take up little space and put on quite a show for their diminuative size !

BS $ 75 Phal. cornu-cervi var. chattaladae (Sib cross of Species)
Fully mature blooming-size plants of this awesome solid red form of this species ! We’ve had these plants grown on in Taiwan and are now releasing them. Previously flowered spikes will continue to grow & form buds with additional new spikes being created. They tend to flower sporadically during the year with no definite flowering season. A NOTE OF CAUTION: Many red clones of Phal. cornu-cervi are being sold as the var. chattaladae – however, they are actually the rubescens form, recognizable by faint barring (rather than solid red) on the lateral sepals over its yellow base color. The rubescens form has been bred from a clone called ‘Red’ and is not as dark or solid in color. These are the true chattaladae from a seed pod from David Grove, the original owner of the only plant of this variety of cornu-cervi. Quite a sight when in full flower on multiple spikes !

Dtps. Siam Treasure BS $ 85 ‘Tying Shin’ Only 2 (Phal. lowii x Dor. pulcherrima) available
This is a select clone of the highly desirable hybrid, Dtps. Siam Treasure, from Kuo-Liang Hung of Tying Shin Orchids, currently being used in his breeding program. Soft lavender-blue flowers, produced on upright stately and branching spikes, are accented with a vivid broad purple-blue lip. Due to its Phal. lowii parentage, for best growth and flowering, we recommend growing it under lower light, much like the light given to Phal. bellina – it also benefits from being a little cooler in the summer. IMPORTANT NOTE: this clone is an amazingly robust grower, quite unlike the clone ‘Blue’ which has been difficult, at best, to grow or even
keep alive !

In 2010 this cross, with its seedlings all from the same pod, garnered an AQ/AOS, one FCC/AOS and eight AM/AOS awards at the Taiwan Show in March. Although not yet shown for judging, we think this clone is as good as any of those previously awarded…lucky for us that it wasn’t mature enough to be shown in 2010 so it was available (with 4 basal keikis!) for sale – and we grabbed it (and then robbed a bank) !
