Januay 2020 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 their 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 & hotter 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 or hot 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, viridis 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 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 !

every one being a potential winner !

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. And a few from this sibbing will revert

with a more typical rich pink bellina flush. This species will continue to flower on

older inflorescences in addition to producing new. We’re guessing this

group is about a year from flowering & yet we’ve seen a couple spike up already,

showing their increased vigor as a sib cross ~ of course, they sold right away !

Phal. cornu-cervi

fma. chattaladae 4N (Mericlone)

(TETRAPLOID form)

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

(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 !

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 !

Phal. speciosa (tetraspis) var. christiana

(‘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 !

Phal. tetraspis var. green (Green tipped form of Species)

We sold out of these the minute we

posted them a year ago ~ but we just 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 !

Phal. violacea fma. alba (‘Wanchiao’ SM/TOGA x sib: Species)

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 literally surrounded bearing multiple spikes gently arching over compact

leaves. A great & fragrant space-conscious summer to fall bloomer !

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 3-4 months after the initial flowering was over !

PLEASE NOTE: With many of the harlequins & the blue, 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. Fangmei Sweet

’OX1536’

(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 !

Capable of producing multitudes of branching spikes for an amazingly

floriferous presentation ~ many of these spiked again within 2 months, meaning

twice a year flowering. And this year we discovered that the cooler nights of fall to winter encouraged these same plants to

MICRO-MINIS ~ PERFECT FOR SPACE-CHALLENGED COLLECTIONS:

Phal. Chienlung Cute Lobi ‘M’

(Liu’s Cute Angel x lobbii)

Finally, an easy-to-grow primary hybrid of

Phal. lobbii that flowers with even more flowers per spike than Phal. lobbii, but 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.

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. And this particular micro-mini never seems to stop making new spikes. An easy grower, unlike its

Phal. lobbii parent, & deserving of a place in every serious Phalaenopsis collection !

“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 choose to carry 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 have been only a few so far that meet those standards for us, & we’re excited to be able to share some of them with everyone.



Phal. Charming Crystal Water

’F1287’ FCC/AOS

(Tying Shin Valentine’s Day x Fureshing Mark)

Phal. Tying Shin Valentine’s Day is a

multi-floral miniature bearing 5cm flowers in super abundance ~ mated with

Fureshing Mark, a large “big lip” hybrid, Charming Crystal Water can produce multitudes of stunning pristine white 3 ¾” flowers on branching cascading

inflorescences ! Its flat and full lip truly resembles a third petal, filling in between the lateral sepals beautifully. If you grow

only one “Big Lip”, this is THE ONE to own !

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 2

nd & 3

rd 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 !



Phal. AL Hannover Sun ‘Red’

(Mituo Sun x Hannover Passion)

Two great waxy novelty parents

combined into one sensational fragrant red ! This particular hybrid is

overflowing with heavily barred and harlequin-enhanced parentage which has

resulted in a suffusion of color to produce solid reds. If flowered under

cooler & brighter (winter) conditions, it will flower solid red. With the onset of

warmer shadier conditions (spring-summer) it will show just a hint of its Hannover Passion parentage with a narrow yellow picotee around all its

segments (see photo). This is one of the best from today’s cutting-edge breeding

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 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 !

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.

Dendrobium Angel Baby

’Little Darling’ AM/AOS

An adorable, and very miniature, nobile-

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

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

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
