the orchidPhile August 2019 PRE-ORDER LIST
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 BS/PF $ 42 ‘A09001’ (4N) (2)
(TETRAPLOID FORM of Species)
A dynamite tetraploid form of this favorite 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 great 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 which make for a stunning display !
WINNER OF IPA BEST PHAL IN SHOW TROPHY !
Phal. bellina (Sib cross of Species) B/F $ 65 (1) A simply sensational sib cross of this fragrant species, producing beautifully round compact foliage as the perfect backdrop to its round heavily blushed waxy flowers ! The improvements in Taiwan to Phal. bellina breeding have been stunning, and this particular sibbing has been beyond our expectations with every one being a potential winner !
FRAGRANT ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
Phal. bellina fma. coerulea BS $ 55 (Sib Cross of FRAGRANT Species) (2) The fragrant & beautiful Phal. bellina in a new color form ! This cerulean strain has a blue flush which, along with its deep lavender lip, makes quite a statement. This species will continue to flower on older inflorescences in addition to producing new. We’re guessing this group is about a year to flowering & yet we’ve seen a couple spike up already, showing their increased vigor as a sib cross ~ of course, they sold immediately !
FRAGRANT !
ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae 4N (Mericlone) BS $ 65 (1) (TETRAPLOID form)
JUST IN This is the genuine chattaladae form of Phal. cornu-cervi from David Grove, owner of the only known plant of this variety.
OF NOTE: There are other red forms of Phal. cornu-cervi being offered – but they are actually fma. rubescens or a cross between fma. rubescens and possibly fma. chattaladae….all showing a hint of yellow in their lateral sepals and most with a yellow back to the flowers. Fma. chattaladae has a totally solid red back to its flowers with no hint of yellow anywhere except the very tips of the lateral sepals, & it retains its solid red color, even on the fading flowers, whereas fma. rubescens will begin to show yellow as the flowers fade.
Phal. equestris fma. alba BS $ 42 (2) (Rare pure alba form of Species)
These seedlings are from the same population as a select form of this 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 often leave their still-green spikes on each plant since they can readily produce keikis on those spikes in addition to producing new flowering spikes !
MINIATURE SPECIES ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
BS $ 65 Phal. equestris fma. aurea (2) (Mericlone) JUST IN (YELLOW LIP form of Species)
A stunning variation on this beloved species, bearing pure white flowers accented with a golden-yellow lip ! Same compact leaf span & spike height as all the other members of this species with the potential to produce a keiki on its previously flowered spike. These are not readily available, & we just found a few more on our recent visit to Taiwan !
MINIATURE SPECIES
PF/BS $ 45 Phal. equestris fma. coerulea (2)
(Blue lip form of Species)
JUST IN This white form of Phal. equestris bears soft cerulean blue lips, varying slightly in their blue intensity according to light & temperature when they’re forming. Beautifully compact spikes are 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 spike & still create new flowering spikes !
MINIATURE SPECIES ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
SP $ 48 Phal. schilleriana ‘Wilson’ (2)
(Silver leaf form x Spot leaf form)
(“Silver Leaf” form of Species)
This particular sibbing of two forms of this species has resulted in beautifully mottled silvery leaves with a distinct & well defined spotting pattern ! This particular clone is an amazingly strong grower for the species with firm leaves &
heavier substance flowers. We have found that this species does best for us
grown under slightly lower light than we give our Phalaenopsis hybrids & the waxier summer-flowering species. A great plant for year round enjoyment due to its amazingly attractive leaves !
FRAGRANT SPECIES
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
BS $ 85 Phal. speciosa (tetraspis) var. christiana (1) (‘C#1’ AM/AOS x self)
(Two-tone color form of Species)
A unique color form of this species which has been recognized & awarded by the 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 has produced the same two-tone fragrant flowers as its parent with the potential for some to flower with the odd
solid red flower. 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 !
SP $ 95 Phal. tetraspis ‘Green’ (1) (Green tipped form of Species)
We sold out of these the minute we posted them a year ago ~ but we just JUST IN found a few more to share ! When flowered in the winter, its green influence is not as strong as when it flowers during the spring or fall when it’s brighter & cooler. Previously flowered spikes will stay green so don’t remove them but allow them to continue to produce additional flowers in season while still creating new flowering spikes. We’ve also found that this particular color form of the species improves as the plants mature ~ a worthy addition to every
collection ! This is an actual photo of our plant when it flowered in April ! The green really comes out under brighter & cooler conditions. FRAGRANT SPECIES
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
BS $ 65 Phal. tetraspis fma. alba (1) (Pure white form of Species)
A RARE pure white clone of this fragrant species bearing spikes which will continue to add buds & flowers in addition to the plant producing additional new spikes ! These have the same growing & flowering conditions as all Phal. tetraspis (speciosa) species. Another color form to add to your Phal. species collection !
FRAGRANT SPECIES ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
BS $ 75 Phal. tetraspis ‘Blue Red’ (2) (Species)
We’ve flowered quite a few of the (‘C#1’ x JUST IN Self) seedlings of this species &, of them
all, only one has flowered a true solid blue-red like this clone ! Some of the ‘C#1’ selfings have produced a solid red flower but additional flowers on the same spikes proved to be more like the two- tone ‘C#1’ clone. Unlike those selfings, this particular clone is a stable & solid
rich blue-red color for this species !
FRAGRANT SPECIES
BS/PF $ 75 Phal. tetraspis ‘Spots’ (1) (Spotted form of Species)
A unique variation among all Phal. JUST IN tetraspis species, possibly the result of a
‘C#1’ selfing ! Covered with a random spotting pattern, its richness of color is intensified under cooler & brighter conditions. These have all bloomed true to the original mother plant & are a refreshing addition to any Phalaenopsis species collection !
FRAGRANT SPECIES
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
NBS/BS $ 65 Phal. venosa ‘KF’ (2) (Select dark clone of Species)
This is an exceptionally dark, almost solid in color, select clone of this species ! Beautiful glossy green undulating leaves with cascading spikes around 5-7” long. In nature this species grows wet all year so fertilize and keep moist year round. Previously flowered spikes can continue to add buds in addition to new spikes emerging so don’t remove older spikes until they turn brown. A summer into fall bloomer !
B/F $ 65 Phal. violacea fma. alba (2) (‘Wanchiao’ SM/TOGA x sib: Species)
A not often available alba form of this JUST IN wonderfully fragrant species ! The clone ‘Wanchiao’ was recognized in Taiwan with a Silver Medal for its confirmation & pure alba color, some seedlings touched just slightly with a whisper of green on the outer edges of their segments. Waxy long-lasting fragrant flowers are produced on very compact spikes which cascade gently over a compact leaf span. Previously flowered spikes will remain green & continue to add buds in addition to creating new spikes, with the species eventually surrounded bearing multiple spikes gently arching over compact leaves. A great & fragrant space- conscious summer to fall bloomer !
FRAGRANT ! RARE COLOR FORM OF SPECIES One-of-a-kind Seedlings
BS $ 55 Phal. viridis (2) (RARE Species)
Another result of select sibbings & selfings of this rarely available species ! Its burgundy-brown barring overlay is set against a yellow-green base color, making a striking display of its 1.5” waxy flowers. Endemic to Sumatra, this miniature warm grower shows off in the spring with simultaneously opening flowers on its erect to horizontal spikes, extending on a mature plant up to 16” in length, making for a stunning display !
FRAGRANT ! VERY RARE MINI SPECIES
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
BS $ 55 Phal. zebrina (1) (Sib cross of Species)
Endemic to Myanmar, Thailand, Borneo & Sumatra, this rarely available & fragrant warm growing waxy species flowers in the spring & summer ! We’ve already flowered a couple from this sib cross & their flower size & crisp marks have been sensational. This species carries horizontal to erect 4” long spikes, producing up to 5+ flowers. Its spikes can remain green from one flowering to the next, continuing to add buds in addition
to making new spikes in season !
FRAGRANT 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 actually discovered that many were spiking again within 6-9 months after the initial flowering was 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.
MULTI-FLORAL MINIATURES (including Harlequin & Peloric Multi-floral Minis):
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. Chia E Yenlin ‘Variegata’ BS $ 42 (Sogo Yenlin x Formosa Cranberry) (2)
A stunning harlequin-influenced multi- floral miniature ! Its flowers are heavily JUST IN suffused with harlequin spotting melding
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 attractively variegated foliage as opposed
to the traditional dark green leaves of
other clones of this hybrid. And as first
bloomers they are capable of flowering
with 2-3 compact spikes ~ even when not
in flower, their foliage is eye-catching !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !

Phal. Evarise Blue Angel BS $ 38 (Mericlone) (1) (Purple Martin x lobbii)
This is one of those totally delightful multi-floral miniatures that we awarded an AM/AOS at a recent Taiwan JUST IN International Orchid Show ~ FRAGRANT & BLUE ! This little wonder is capable of producing two or more compact spikes as first bloomers over equally compact
leaf spans ~ the one sample we hand-
carried back, bare root, from Taiwan in
March & in flower at the time is still
flowering on its original spikes, 6 months
later ! Its crowning glory is the lobbii- type lip which sets off the cerulean blue flowers with an accent of rich purple- blue. One of our all-time favorites for color, fragrance, super compact growth & flowering !
FRAGRANT ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
Phal. Fangmei Sweet SP/B $ 28 ’OX1536’ (3)
(Little Gem Stripes x Dou-dii Golden Princess)
A new “orange” multi-floral miniature created by a heavy suffusion of the red candy stripes from Little Gem Stripes over the golden-yellow background of Dou-dii Golden Princess ! Great compact
spikes produce multitudes of 6.5cm
flowers on branching sprays from fully
mature plants, each flower outlined with a
fine yellow picotee. Cooler & brighter
conditions always produce the most vivid color. The best of all the seedlings & clones of Fangmei Sweet that we have seen in Taiwan over the last few years !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. Lioulin Golden Age PF/BS $ 28 ’A09714’ (2)
(Lioulin Dazzle x Fusheng’s Golden Age)
Bearing fabulous bright yellow flowers offset with a bright red lip, these plants are only in 3” pots, yet several have already produced two branching spikes bearing a multitude of buds ! A ready brancher with nice compact spikes in perfect proportion to the plant, its full form flowers are 2 ½” in size, a nice mid- size between larger flowered hybrids & multi-floral miniatures. Both parents have contributed heavy substance to these flowers which translates to a long- lasting display !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI
Phal. Lioulin Violin ’PS3572’ B/F $ 38 (3) (Chian Xen Violin x Chia E Yenlin) 2+ spikes
A harlequin-touched multi-floral miniature, this new hybrid creates compact branching spikes of chalk white flowers accented with harlequin accents in their lips ! Due to our extreme & unexpected warm summer, the spikes on
these plants have exhibited “heat stretch” & are taller than is usual for this mini ~ rest assured, its winter flowering
will be much more compact & branchy. A delightful addition to any multi-floral mini
collection with its dramatic touch of harlequin accents !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FLOWERS TWICE A YEAR !

Phal. Liu’s Cute Angel PF $ 33 ‘KF#3’ AM/AOS (4)
(Jiaho Cherry x lobbii) SP/B $ 38 (2) Just awarded an 82 point AM/AOS from One our recent Cape & Islands Orchid Show branching exhibit ! A delightful 2-tone multi-floral spike mini with that fabulously contrasting broad brilliant red-orange lobbii-type lip ! SP/B $ 48 Capable of producing multitudes of (4) branching spikes for an amazingly 4+ floriferous presentation ~ many of these branching spiked again within 2 months, meaning spikes twice a year flowering. And this year we
discovered that the cooler nights of fall to winter encouraged these same plants to create up to 6 spikes each ! The charm of this particular clone is that the petals & dorsal sepal are pink with the contrast of white bi-color accented lateral sepals, creating the perfect backdrop to highlight its fabulous broad lobbii-influenced lip !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
FLOWERS TWICE A YEAR !
Phal. Liu’s Triprince BS $ 45 ‘Yellow Lip’ (3)
(Eduardp Quisumbing x lobbii) JUST IN Our most favorite of all the color forms of Phal. Liu’s Triprince for its sparkling golden yellow lobbii-type lip set against charmingly small white flowers ! This hybrid was noted as a great achievement in giving Phal. lobbii hybrids a better presentation, flower quality and floriferousness, producing compact readily branching spikes over equally compact leaf spans. These can flower more than once a year & are easily tucked into any collection, no matter how space-challenged it is !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE
Phal. Mini Mark ‘Maria Teresa’ BS $ 75 (Micro Nova x philippinense) (2)
A clone hand-selected by Carlos Fighetti several years ago for its bright well- defined marks ! Very compact leaf spans over which compact branching spikes produce multitudes of little white & orange flowers. One of our most popular & often asked-for of all minis ! Best grown slightly shadier, cooler & drier due to its Micro Nova & Phal. philippinense parentage. We were fortunate enough to obtain the last of these from our grower in Taiwan, rarely available in the US. They are fully & super-mature plants !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
Phal. (Silbergrube x javanica) B/F $ 42 (2) One of those “cute as a button” multi- floral minis ! Phal. javanica adds the charming accent of its candy striping to this little hybrid with Silbergrube giving it the perfect spike height while enhancing its sunset colors. Each plant will flower with varying intensities of the overlay color, from soft & subtle to bold & dramatic. Easily tucked into any collection & tends to flower more than once a year !
FRAGRANT ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS !
Phal. Sogo Vivien PF/BS $ 28 ‘Golden Leaves’ (3)
(Boldly Variegated form)
(Sogo Alice x Zuma’s Pixie)
Everyone loves Phal. Sogo Vivien for its multitudes of charming small candy- striped flowers ! This particular clone, bearing the same candy-stripe flowers, has a brand new element to set it apart from all the other Sogo Viviens ~ dramatically variegated foliage, making it attractive even when not in flower. No two plants will exhibit the same variegation & each leaf on each individual plant will be slightly different in the degree of its variegation depending on light & temperature when forming. Add to that its frequency of flowering, producing wonderfully compact readily branching & naturally cascading spikes, and it becomes a striking display & treasure to enjoy year ‘round !
VARIEGATED MULTI-MINI ! CAN FLOWER TWICE A YEAR !

floriferous plants, already producing two spikes as first bloomers. And its blue color will be more intense under cooler & brighter conditions ~ we expect these to begin flowering in September, perfect timing for the best color !
CAN FLOWER TWICE A YEAR !
Phal. Taida King’s Caroline PF $ 38 ’Taida Little Zebra VA’ AM/AOS (5)
(Ever-spring King x Ho’s Little Caroline)
We just received an AM/AOS from the American Orchid Society for this particular clone ! VA is not a boo-boo on the clonal name of these plants ~ VA stands for “Variant” ! These are a mega
OLD: original ‘Taida Little Zebra’ 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” favorites, flowering twice a year !

A great new “splash petal” multi-floral mini resulting from a clonal shift of the SP $ 45 wildly popular Phal. Tying Shin Smart ! Splash After bringing them in from Taiwan, the petal form nursery told us that this clone has only (4) produced a small percent of the plants
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. We have now selected out those plants that are bearing leaves which indicate they will produce splash-petal flowers ~ please be sure to

Younghome Ray is just loaded with white multi-floral minis in its breeding
background ! The result has been this JUST IN super mini with an adorable rich pink- striped lip to add an exciting new dimension to its presentation. We sold out of these rapidly a couple of years ago & have just obtained a few more. Great
compact leaves & spikes ~ easily tucked into any collection !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI !
Phal. Yushan Swif ‘A09333’ PF $ 28 (2) (Sogo Yenlin x Sogo Kooper)
The most vivid of solid pink multi-floral miniatures & a super compact grower ! We had forgotten how absolutely sensational this mini is from when we first saw one in flower. Sogo Yenlin is a beautiful full form dark pink mini ~ and mated with the sunset-tone Sogo Kooper, it has given its pink parent the additional
punch of a yellow underlay creating electric pink long-lasting heavy substance flowers. Each segment carries a whisper of a narrow yellow picotee, setting each flower off to its ultimate. Very compact branching spikes in perfect proportion to its great compact leaves makes this the ideal little Phalaenopsis to grow on a windowsill or under lights. Many of these had just finished flowering, bearing two branching spikes as first bloomers, & were already spiking again !
MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! CAN FLOWER TWICE A YEAR !
MICRO-MINIS ~ PERFECT FOR SPACE-CHALLENGED COLLECTIONS:
Phal. Chienlung Cute Lobi ‘M’ BS/PF $ 65 (Liu’s Cute Angel x lobbii) (1)
Finally, an easy-to-grow primary hybrid of Phal. lobbii that flowers with even more flowers per spike than Phal. lobbii, but JUST IN with the flowers being exactly like that
charming species ! For many, Phal.
lobbii is one of the more difficult species
to grow so we’re always looking for near- primaries that produce flowers like the species but are much easier to grow & flower. This little cutie flowers on very compact spikes over delightfully miniature round leaves, giving us, on its first flowering, two spikes with 5 or more flowers per spike & will continue to add more buds to its original spikes in
addition to producing new. So if the
spikes remain green, do not remove
them. As these grow up we expect
multiple spikes on very micro-miniature
growers.
MICRO-MINIATURE !
Phal. Liu’s Gold Coin ‘M’ B/F $ 95 (2) (Ho’s Kuangfeng Glory x lobbii)
One of the very few Stem Props available of this fabulous & rarely available micro- JUST IN mini ! Known for his very special breeding program using Phal. lobbii & Phal. parishii, Mr. Liu wanted a great golden-yellow mini with an extremely small footprint & a lobbii-type lip. Showing the strong influence of Phal. lobbii in its broad lip, super compact spike & leaf habit, its brilliant color comes from the pod parent, Ho’s Kuangfeng Glory. An easy grower, unlike its Phal. lobbii parent, & deserving of a place in every serious Phalaenopsis collection !
MULTI-FLORAL MICRO-MINI !
Phal. Su-An Cricket ‘SW’ BS $ 65 (Gelblieber x mannii) (1)
Another exciting “find” at the 2018 Taiwan Show ! This little hybrid is hard JUST IN
to find so we ordered a few more the
minute we saw them. With its great
micro-mini leaf span & spike, it can
produce an abundance of yellow-green full-form waxy miniature flowers. Due to its breeding background we have found these grow best under lower Phalaenopsis light. And the green expression in their flowers is more evident when flowered under cooler temperatures and higher light. A sensational little micro-mini !
FRAGRANT WAXY MICRO-MINI !
“BIG LIP” (Tri-Petaloid) 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 select must have a beautiful broad flat lip tucked right up into the flower itself so it gives the definite impression of a 3-petal flower. There are only a few so far that meet those standards for us, & we’re excited to be able to share some of them with everyone.

only one “Big Lip”, this is THE ONE to
own !
MULTI-FLORAL MIDI !
OF SPECIAL NOTE: This is actually the very same plant that was originally awarded Grand Champion at the 2018 TIOS Show (see its award photos) !!! When the awards were recorded by the AOS, it was given its hybrid name by the grower as Charming Crystal Water ‘F1287’. A very unique opportunity to own something truly sensational !

(Surf Song x Yu Pin Fireworks)
Seen & awarded at a recent TIOS Show in JUST IN Taiwan, this clone had everything going for it – so we ordered as many as we could ! Added to the amazing sunset color from Surf Song comes the BIG LIP from Yu Pin Fireworks, making for an arresting display of a tri-petal flower, around 3” in size. What we really liked about this particular clone was the flatness of the lip as opposed to many “Big Lip” clones we’ve seen that are showing a severely cupped lip, something we just don’t like to see for this line of breeding…this one truly gives the appearance of three petals on a nice flat & uniquely colored flower !

This particular clone produces satiny shell pink flowers with a generously full & flat lip tucked right into the flower, leaving no gaps, for a perfect 3-petal appearance. Elegant & naturally cascading spikes give it a wonderful presentation, and its peloric flat lip adds that special panache of something new and really different !
PELORIC “BIG LIP”
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, adding fuller form on their 2nd & 3rd flowerings. They will 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 !

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 !
OTHER GENERA WHICH GROW 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 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.

An adorable, and very miniature, nobile- type Dendrobium which, when grown warmer & kept evenly moist, does not drop its leaves ! When we received the AM/AOS on this clone, it was showing off with 46 flowers on 12 spikes emerging from three 16cm (6.5”) tall canes. A little stunner with FRAGRANT white flowers delightfully set off with an apple green
throat in the lip – can flower 3-4 times a year without needing a chill period like most nobile-influenced Dendrobiums. These will flower & re-flower on newly mature leaved canes in addition to re- flowering on previously flowered leafless canes. A rewarding little mini for windowsill or under-lights growing !
NOTE: This particular mini, despite being a Dendrobium, seems to prefer to be grown in moss with an even moisture supply. We initially grew them in bark & lost each one ~ they love the moss !

Den. Classic Gem PF $ 28 ’Purple Queen’ (1)
(D’Bush Classic x Gemwood)
Often called the Pansy-type Dendrobium, this type of hybrid is not often available ! What sets this particular clone apart from other Phalaenopsis-type Dendrobiums is its pelroic broad flat lip, to mimic a petal, which gives it the appearance of a Pansy in its shape. Heavily influenced by two Dendrobium species in its background,
Den. phalaenopsis dominates for its flower size and full round form while Den. bigibbum gives its canes a much more compact growth habit. A warm grower, it produces an abundance of long lasting pansy-looking flowers.

Den. Enobi Purple BS $ 28 ‘Splash’ AM/AOS (2)
(Enobi Komachi x Laguna Princess)
This miniature Dendrobium received its AM/AOS at the Taiwan International Orchid Show in 2011 with 251 flowers & buds on 21 gracefully arching spikes. We’ve flowered them all to assure that they all are splash-petal – some of the mericlone population reverted back so always ask if the grower has seen the flowers. Once fully mature, they will flower more than once a year, on new
canes & again on previously flowered canes. And this new population, just in from Taiwan, has even more vivid & dark splash accents ~ we suspect this strain came originally from Thailand where the clones from their plant of this mini are dramatically better (see lower photo). A real show stopper and a vigorous grower capable of becoming an amazing miniature specimen in very little time !

Dendrobium jenkinsii PF $ 28 (Syn. Den. aggregatumvar. jenkinsii) (2)

Multitudes of FRAGRANT pendulous short spikes of 2-4 flowers are produced primarily in the spring – bright golden yellow flowers with a deep gold lip. These are MICRO MINI multiple growth plants which will grow & flower beautifully under Phal. conditions. Most have flowered already with several spikes & are currently hardening off their new flowering growths !

Den. Ueang Pheung PF $ 33 (3) (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.

DIVISION OF OUR SELECT CLONE
ASSORTED GENERA:
All the plants listed below grow & flower easily WITH our Phals under the same light & temperature conditions since most are miniature or micro-miniature growing species or hybrids, requiring much lower light than their larger cousins – they can put on quite a show for their compact size ! We also have divisions of several of our selected Cattleyas which we’ve grown & marked as exceptional from seedling populations – however, since we didn’t take pictures of many when they were flowering, we will only bring divisions in bud or flower due to the variation among several clones of the same select hybrid.

(Summit x Gilded Urchin)
4” pots Although we don’t normally grow, or even choose to carry, the more common & readily available mericlones of the Oncidium family, we have always loved this particular hybrid for its exotic presentation & amazingly long-lasting display of dramatic & contrasting colors ! Its color combination is quite extraordinary, olive green flowers accented with chocolate brown blotches. And as the perfect finishing accent, its golden-yellow lip is beautifully marked with rusty chestnut brown. The flowers can reach 4” in size with a fully mature
plant capable of producing more than 15 flowers per beautifully arching spike. Unlike many of the more common Oncidinae, this hybrid’s heavy substance flowers mean a much longer lasting display of its exotic presentation !

Chysis limminghei PF $ 38 (1) (MINI Species)
An adorable species endemic to Mexico which just loves warm to hot conditions ! NEW When its new growth matures, it sends LISTING 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. Easily grown & flowered under Phalaenopsis conditions. The leaves will drop in the fall after flowering & we recommend keeping the medium damp to avoid shriveling its pseudobulbs during the winter. This species does not like to be repotted with any great frequency so we’re growing ours in New Zealand moss which allows for very little disturbance of its root system when repotting is needed to accommodate new growths.

Fredclarkeara After Dark PF $ 45 4” pots ’Sunset Valley Orchids’ FCC/AOS (1)
(Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise)
Easily grown under Phalaenopsis Large conditions, this particular clone of multiple Fredclarkeara After Dark produces tawny growth green flowers, heavily spotted maroon plant 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 !

With orange & bright yellow in its breeding background, we’re expecting brilliant orange to almost red flowers from this cross due to his choice to use the redder form of rhodocheila in this hybrid ~ those we have flowered so far are an electric glowing orange! These flowers can reach about 2.75cm. in size from top to bottom. And their beautiful grass-like striped foliage adds even more to their charm. We expect these to continue to spike & flower for the first time this summer/fall !

Rodriguezia, Oncidium & Leochilus, these plants remain small yet produce gently cascading compact spikes held well above its miniature foliage with multitudes of small red flowers bearing broad spotted lips. Cooler & brighter conditions will produce the deepest red color in its flowers. We’ve heard from several growers that one of the clonings of this ‘Puananii’ population resulted in dull salmon flowers so we’ve flowered them all to assure that this cloning is producing the bright red flowers that we’d like to see from it. A vigorous bloomer, several of our plants had just finished flowering, & we discovered that they were still making even more new spikes, each pseudobulb capable of producing up to four spikes.

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.
