Paphiopedilum Odette’s Fantasy

90309 Paphiopedilum Odette’s Fantasy

(Odette's Magic 'Dorsal Diva' x Fred's Ghost 'Moulin Rouge)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

The latest vini-color or flame in our very successful line of breeding.  We have pulled a lot of these for sale on the Collectors’ Bench

Paphiopedilum Venus Knight

90511 Paphiopedilum Venus Knight

(Ninja 'Conquest' HCC/AOS x venustum 'Blatant')
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

We love venustum hybrids.  They give the most cheerful flowers that bloom at any time of the year.  All have the venustum characteristic pouches.  This time we used a tall upright coloratum as the pod parent so we are seeing slightly taller stems than is usual for venustum hybrids

Paphiopedilum Mr Wonderful ‘Lehua Twinkles’ HCC/AOS (award photo The Orchid Works)

90501 Paphiopedilum Mr. Wonderful

(Anhinga 'Matthias Pink' x Friedrich von Hayek 'In Pink')
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Beautiful hints of pink on flowers held upright on tall stems.  One award to this cross already for a first bloom seedling

90304

90304 Paphiopedilum President Fred

(Nedra Conyer ‘Darkness’ x Friedrich von Hayek ‘Lehua Quiet Elegance HCC/AOS’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Another remake, and does this one look a lot better than the first.  Lots of vinis and the coloratums show a lot of pink

90104 (2)

90104 Paphiopedilum Memoria Jeffrey Ma

(Jewel Green ‘Diane’ x Petula’s Ghost ‘Chiyo’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Jewel Green is a fascinating flower, lots of colors.  In many cases this has continued to the next generation

90101

90101 Paphiopedilum Hawaiian Illusion

(Varuna ‘Kaiena III’ x Grand Illusions ‘Kanoho’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

We have pulled 18 of these to enter for judging on the second flowering.  We think this cross deserves an AQ.  Lots of differences in these flowers

81203

81203 Paphiopedilum Magical Venus

(venustum ‘Blatant’ x Macabre Magic ‘Wide Side’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

This cross attracts every non-orchid person who comes to the greenhouse.  Very cheerful flowers and it re-blooms very easily and frequently

81202-2

81202 Paphiopedilum Macabre Lady

(Lady Macbeth ‘All Spots’ x Macabre Magic ‘Wide Side’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Both parents are coloratums, so we are seeing lots of wonderfully spotted flowers.  Most have initiated a second growth

81002 Lady Petula

81002 Paphiopedilum Lady Petula

(Lady Macbeth ‘What Spot’ x Petula’s Ghost ‘Darkness’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

We try to avoid remakes but when we see two potential parents that look like they should go together, we just do it.  This result is better than the first Lady Petula and the first has been awarded

80704_1

80704 Paphiopedilum Memoria Jacob ‘Jake’ Piloto

(Duguesclin ‘Dorsal Delight’ x Double Deception ‘Nifty’)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

A mastersianum hybrid crossed with a venustum hybrid.  Great green flowers, often two to a spike.  This cross has been awarded

80501

80501 Paphiopedilum Varuna

(wardii x venustum)
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Not our breeding.  We bought these flasks as both parents were purported to be alba.  Clearly the dominant color gene has had some influence in this cross.  Nonetheless an amazingly frequent bloomer

71002

71002 Paphiopedilum Spots Galore

(Magic Spots 'Major Spots' x Lady Macbeth 'Out, Out')
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

The name says it all. We bred for spots and got them. Many have large spots

Paph Petula’s Peacock ‘Lehua Pink Apple’ HCC-AOS

70707 Paphiopedilum Petula’s Peacock

(Ruby Peacock 'Yukio' x Petula's Mystery 'Dark Star')
in Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Another double vini cross. This time the vinis are not as dark and there are more coloratums

70605

70605 Paphiopedilum Petula’s Magic

(Space Magic 'Hilo Show' x Petula's Mystery 'Dark Star')
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Both parents are vinis. The result is many with incredibly dark foliage and flowers, and neat coloratums, too

70210

70210 Paphiopedilum Memoria Christopher Follansbee

(Ninja 'Conquest' HCC/AOS x Oriental Enchantment 'Clarity')
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames

Light coloratums on tall upright stems. Lots of spots


  • About Lehua Orchids

    Lehua Orchids is located on the Island of Hawaii (the Big island, also known as the Orchid Isle). We are on the slopes of Mauna Loa, half way between Hilo and Volcano in a community called Mountain View. In this location we enjoy the benefits of our almost daily trade winds, and nightly from the cooling effects of our “mauka” winds (winds coming down from the top of the mountain)

    In this location we are able to specialize in intermediate temperature orchids. Our daily highs in summer are about 85 degrees with a 20 degree drop at night. in winter our highs are around 75 and 60 at night. These conditions allow us to specialize in our favorite orchids, Paphiopedilums, Masdevallias, Angraecums and Lycaste.
