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 PF $ 38 ‘A09001’ (4N) (1)

(TETRAPLOID FORM of Species) NEW

A dynamite sibbing of this favorite of all LISTING 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 !

B/F $ 55 Phal. bellina ‘Red Apple’ x self (2)

(FRAGRANT Species)

This particular selfing of ‘Red Apple’ was NEW made to achieve fuller rounder waxy LISTING 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. Matthew Chen (a bellina hybrid with similar leaves & spike habits).

FRAGRANT WAXY SPECIES !

BS $ 55 Phal. speciosa/tetraspis ‘MS#1’ (2)

(Red color form of Species)

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

FRAGRANT MINIATURE

BS $ 55 Phal. speciosa fma. imperatrix (3) ‘Red’

(Deep Red color form of Species) NEW

Like the clone ‘MS#1’, detailed above, LISTING this also could be either Phal. speciosa or tetraspis depending on which taxonomist you talk to ! The flowers on this clone tend to have a little less blue in their red color, but that again can vary with the time of year at flowering. Makes sense to simply have one of each !

established.

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.

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

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 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 !

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.

OTHER 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.

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 seedling to the next.
