www.facebook.com/orchidphile (203) 329-7255
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. Be aware that a few very special plants will only be reserved for your Pre-Order, for a show or mail order.
PLEASE NOTE: Prices are listed in US Dollars
NEW: 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, miniature Oncidinae & 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 - 3” pots as first or second bloomers unless otherwise noted as being in 4” pots
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”.
During the colder months of the year, having your plants sent to either your business address or a FedEx location as a “Hold for Pickup” usually means it’s delivered much earlier in the day & is not exposed to riding around on a cold delivery vehicle for additional hours. So whenever possible, we highly recommend doing this.
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.
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana PF $ 38 ‘A09001’ (4N) (3)
(TETRAPLOID FORM of Species)
NEW A dynamite sibbing of this favorite of all Phal. species ! This population is a tetraploid (4N) form, 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 great substance & produces a much longer-lasting display with a smaller leaf span than is typical for this species. These plants already flowered late this spring & are now in bud again, giving you flowering more than once a year. And the bonus to this particular 4N strain is their naturally & gracefully cascading spikes which 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 !
BS/SP $ 65 Phal. bellina x sib (4)
(FRAGRANT Species)
This sibbing is the result of using two NEW select clones of Phal. bellina in Taiwan to produce fuller rounder flowers with an Pre-Orders intense central blush ! Extremely slow to Only reach maturity, once they do flower they reward us with their vivid color and amazing fragrance, complete with beautifully wavy round leaves and a nicely compact spike. Often the flower spikes remain green & continue to add buds and flowers in season in addition to
creating even more new spikes. A great show of color and fragrance !
PLEASE NOTE: These plants just came in bare-root from Taiwan in September, were potted up in NZ moss & as a result, are now getting nicely established. Please be aware of this & the need to get them more fully established under your growing conditions.
FRAGRANT WAXY SPECIES
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. bellina ‘Red Apple’ x self BS $ 65 (1) (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 !
FRAGRANT WAXY SPECIES !
Phal. equestris fma. alba With $ 55 keiki(s) on spike (Rare pure alba form of Species) (2)
These seedlings are from the same population as a select form of this NEW species to which we gave the clonal name ‘Tara’s Beauty’ (pictured on the right) ! The flowers are fuller and much longer lasting than is typical for the species which leads us to wonder if it’s a tetraploid (4N) population. Their vigorously branching spikes make this strain highly desirable. We have left their still-green spikes on each plant since they can readily produce keikis on their spikes in addition to producing new flowering spikes !
MINIATURE SPECIES ONE-OF-A-KIND PLANTS !
PF/BS $ 45 Phal. equestris fma. coerulea (3)
(Blue lip form of Species)
JUST IN This white form of Phal. equestris bears soft coerulean blue lips, varying in intensity according to light & temperature when they’re forming. Beautifully compact spikes were produced on their first flowering. Always leave the still green spikes on these plants since they can continue to either add additional buds or produce keikis from the original still-green spike, add additional buds & still produce new flowering spikes !

A unique color form of this species which Pre-Orders has been recognized & awarded by the Only AOS both as Phal. tetraspis and Phal. speciosa var. christiana ! So neither the taxonomists nor the AOS judging system can yet agree with what it actually should be called. However, this particular selfing should produce the same two- tone fragrant flowers as its parent with the potential for some flowering as solid
reds. When in full flower, it makes an arresting display of color with no two flowers exhibiting the same red accents. Great fun since each new flower is a surprise ! FRAGRANT SPECIES
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS

VERY RARE MINI SPECIES
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. The advantage to many of the Multi-floral Minis is that they tend to spike more than once a year, due to their breeding background. We’ve found them spiking again within 6-9 months once the initial flowering is over !
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.

Phal. Sogo Lawrence PF $ 35 ‘Taida’ AM/AOS B/F $ 42 (Brother Peterstar x Brother Sara Gold) (4)
We were just granted a well-deserved
AM/AOS for this particular clone of Sogo Lawrence at a recent Rochester Orchid Show ! Waxy & lightly FRAGRANT medium size novelty flowers are produced on branching spikes on fully mature plants (rare for novelty breeding) – this particular clone appears much more RED, due to the heavy overlay of red, than many other clones of the same hybrid. Like many from this kind of breeding, it will continue to form additional buds on its spike after all the initial flowers have opened. Color intensity is always more vivid during cooler temperatures & higher light in the winter than in the spring & summer. From the original breeding program of the famed Tying Shin Orchid Nursery !

Phal. Taida Golden Diamond PF $ 33 ‘Taida Huang Fei’ (1)

Compact spikes with non-fading bright yellow waxy long-lasting flowers make
this particular clone of Phal. Taida Golden Diamond very special ! As first bloomers in just 2.7” pots, they had
already created 2-3 spikes per plant. Fabulous rich yellow color with the
dramatic central accent of a deep burgundy harlequin blotch. This particular harlequin is amazingly stable, producing its harlequin accent only in the center of each flower without any erratic odd harlequin spots anywhere else on the flower. One of the best clones from this hybrid for its fuller form waxy flowers & non-fading brilliant yellow color !

We’ve been knocked over by the vigor of NEW this primary hybrid, with each plant producing 2-3 spikes in just 2.7” pots as first bloomers ! This remake of the Pre-Orders hybrid has taken advantage of two new Only richly colored forms of its species parents, the dark indigo-blue form of Phal. violacea and the deep solid red of the chattaladae form of Phal. cornu-cervi, creating solid red waxy flowers on ever- blooming spikes, the flower size being
about the same as its cornu-cervi parent. As is the case with its species parents, previously flowered spikes can remain green so don’t remove them. They will add more buds in season in addition to
producing even more spikes. These seedlings have been amazingly consistent in their red flowers with no variation among them. And a fully mature plant can be surrounded with a flaming blaze of red glory !

Non- fading golden yellow flowers, 9cm (3.5”) in size, are kissed with a touch of white around their harlequin-haloed column, with the harlequin patterning radiating out & leaving a narrow yellow picotee around all the segments. Beautifully finished with a bold ruby-red lip, this clone from OX Nurseries took on the best of both parents producing a flower totally

Firm substance on its 4+” flowers adds to the longevity of its satiny display. Harlequin-influenced spotting over its white background makes quite a dramatic statement !
SELECT ONE-OF-A-KIND NOVELTY SEEDLINGS:
Many of our novelty or select seedlings will be flowering 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 grow to maturity due to the heavy influence of the slower-growing waxy Phal species in their 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 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 !
These are listed in the group marked Novelty Hybrids ~ noting them in particular as “One-of-a-kind Seedlings”.
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.

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 deep small plastic baskets to allow their roots to dry slightly between waterings. In the winter we slip these little baskets into rose pots to allow the roots to continue to grow down from the basket, our own approach to “collaring” that Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids does with his plants in clay pots. These are mostly miniature, & 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.

Easily grown under Phalaenopsis Large conditions, this particular clone of multiple Fredclarkeara After Dark produces tawny growth green flowers, heavily spotted maroon plants 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 !

Onc. Alosuka ‘Claire’ NBS/BS $ 28 (2) (Memoria Kiyoshi Akatsuka x Aloha Sunshine)
If you’ve always loved the flowers of Onc. varicosum, Onc. Killer Bees and Onc. NEW Island’s Love but found them more difficult to grow, this is the perfect answer ! Onc. Alosuka is an easy-to- grow miniature bearing the same brilliant golden yellow lip accented with a dramatically contrasting almost-black blotch at its base. The flowers take after
its dramatically yellow & chocolate- accented Memoria Kiyoshi Akatusuka parentage with Aloha Sunshine adding ease of growth. This clone can flower twice a year when fully mature, producing multiple gently arching & branching inflorescences from each newly maturing pseudobulb, compact & readily branching on very young plants. Unlike Onc. Moon Shadow, its spikes are much more compact, branching freely on gently arching inflorescences & its flowers are rounder & fuller. Also, it’s black contrast is much darker & more dramatic than that of Onc. Moon Shadow.

Onc. (Gomesa) Moon Shadow PF $ 25 ’Tiger Tail’ AM/AOS (1)
(Cytocidium Hornet x Big Bee)
We’ve always loved the brilliant yellow flowers of Onc. (Gomesa) varicosa,
especially with its boldly contrasting deep chocolate petals ! However, under our growing conditions that particular species never did well at all. This little hybrid has so much Onc. varicosa in its
breeding background that it looks just like Onc. varicosa, yet it is infinitely easier to grow & flower under our Phalaenopsis conditions. Vigorously branching cascading spikes over miniature growths make this clone a sure winner !

We just had our plant of this clone awarded an AM/AOS at the MontrealExpo JUST IN ! Show last March ! An enormous
improvement over prior makes of this hybrid, due in large part to the dark & 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, &

creates, sometimes for as long as seven years, one flower at a time ! A well-grown plant can produce over 20 inflorescences
& create a spectacular display. These
plants will easily spike for the first time in
just 3” pots. They resent being repotted so we always just shift the entire root ball, bark included, to the next larger size & fill in around the perimeter with fresh bark mix. They also don’t mind getting a little dry between waterings. An easy, forgiving & showy grower & bloomer, even under lower light Phalaenopsis conditions.
