We remade this very popular hybrid with the objective of lightening the color of the flowers. These came out of flask April 2019 but are already as big as our Crouching Tiger from the previous time we made this hybrid. One from the previous time is shown here in the photograph. We are right, these […]

(Paphiopedilum Hsinying Anita 'Slipper Zone Tall & Dark' AM/AOS x Paphiopedilum philippinense var. roebelini 'JEM' AM/AOS)Really attractive dark multi-floral with twisting petals
80507 Paphiopedilum Tempting Kings
(Paphiopedilum Temptation 'Lehua's Green Joy' HCC/AOS x Paphiopedilum kolopakingii fma katherinae 'Eight Count Song')This time we did achieve what we had hoped for, a different color in a true multi-floral. fma katherinae is the album form of kolopakingii that we put with our almost green Temptation. Yes these flowered for the first time in 2021, three years out of flask.
71207 Paphiopedilum Reverend Canon Mari
(Paphiopedilum Kolosand 'Lehua Sandy Swirls' HCC/AOS x Paphiopedilum philippinense fma alboflavum 'Slipper Zone Sterling' AM/AOS)Our light colored Kolosand went with our philippinense alboflavum and some of the progeny are album, not all. Even the color form are really very appealing.
70403 Paphiopedilum Tempting Philip
(Paphiopedilum Temptation 'Lehua Green Joy' HCC/AOS x Paphiopedilum philippinense fma alboflavum 'Slipper Zone Sterling' AM/AOS)We took our awarded green Temptation, it’s not an album but very close. We added our.awarded philippinense fma alboflavum. Most of the flowers we have seen are light brown/yellow. We assume another generation of album is needed to get the true yellow we are looking for. But that seed pod did not hold this year.
90701 Paphiopedilum Passing Clouds
(Paphiopedilum Luther Pass 'Tall One' x Paphiopedilum Milmoore 'Khasi' AM/AOS)Another attempt to improve the stem length with a remarkably tall Luther Pass and an old favorite as the pollen parent. We are seeing blooms 2 – 1/2 years out of flask but the plants are small. We would prefer to sell them beginning with the 2023 – 24 season unless you absolutely insist.
81201 Paphiopedilum Red Temptress
(Paphiopedilum Red Beauty 'Bion' HCC/AOS x Paphiopedilum Sheba (1941) 'Enchantress')The pod parent, Red Beauty, is an intersectional so we were excited when it held a seed pod and thrilled when we got flasks back. Not a lot, but the few we have seen flower are delightful smaller reds.
81113 Paphiopedilum Passing Shower
(Paphiopedilum Luther Pass 'Tall One' x Paphiopedilum Coral Rain 'Rampant Spots')An effort to increase the stem length of red and spot bulldogs. The shortness of stems has typically long frustrated us. These are showing some improvement in this category.
81105 Paphiopedilum Ella Passing
(Paphiopedilum Straight Pass 'Spot On' x Paphiopedilum Ella Dancing 'Spotted Duet')Another spot with both parents displaying significant spotted dorsals. Although Ella Dancing, the pollen parent has many siblings that do not have spots, so be prepared for some red bulldogs as well as spots.
80805 Paphiopedilum Ella’s Spot
(Paphiopedilum Ella Dancing 'Dorsal Divine' x Paphiopedilum Spotglen 'Doodlebug' HCC/AOS)Another cross of two spotted red bulldogs using a favorite of ours as the pod parent
80202 Paphiopedilum Ella Singing
(Paphiopedilum Kindly Jack 'Green Glow' x Paphiopedilum Ella Dancing 'Rampant Spots')Kindly Jack we created out of Jack Tonkin and now we get to use it with one of our favorite spotted bulldogs.

(Paphiopedilum Deperle 'White King' x Paphiopedilum godefroyae fma album 'White Song')Just one has flowered so far. These are compact plants favoring the Brachypetalum leaf habit and putting up two small round white flowers
91201 Paphiopedilum Icy Dreams
Paphiopedilum Icy Icy Wind 'White Song' x Paphiopedilum Dreaming Emerald 'Green Finery')We are looking for a large white. However the first to bloom was a green with a large white component to its dorsal. We’ll keep you posted. not a huge number from this cross, unfortunately.
90802 Paphiopedilum Mele Memories
(Paphiopedilum Dreaming Mele 'Green Finery' x Paphiopedilum Mele Pops 'Green Dream')We keep being intrigued by the potential for green bulldogs. Here is out latest effort.
90801 Paphiopedilum Irish Dreams
(Paphiopedilum Irish Love Stone 'Monster' x Paphiopedilum Dreaming Mele 'Green Giant')Big yellows and some smaller greens
90707 Paphiopedilum Misty Hell

90703 Paphiopedilum Much Hell
(Paphiopedilum Hellas 'Westonbirt' FCC/RHS B/CSA x Paphiopedilum Via Muchos Ninos 'Full Moon' HCC/AOS)We love using Hellas as a parent, it provides a wonderful palate to work with. The results are most often autumnal shades.
90414 Paphiopedilum Emerald Vision
(Paphiopedilum Emerald Lake 'Green Gem' x Paphiopedilum Dreaming Emerald 'Green Fnery')This really is a green bulldog
90406 Paphiopedilum Memoria Green Lake
(Paphiopedilum Green Paradise 'All Green' x Paphiopedilum Emerald Lake' Green Gem')Green Lake was a lake in an old cinder cone that was wiped out by the Fissure Eight flows in the 2018 eruption on island. We have fond memories.
90306 Paphiopedilum Green Veil
(Paphiopedilum Veiled Charm 'White Topper' x Paphiopedilum Green Horizon 'All Green')More in our quest for green bulldogs which also produces some delightful yellows
81210 Paphiopedilum Emerald Mele
(Paphiopedilum Dreaming Emerald 'Green Boldly' x Paphiopedilum Mele Pops 'Green Dream')Continuing our work toward green bulldog, a lot are yellow but there are a few attractive greens
80406 Paphiopedilum Meadow Joy
(Paphiopedilum Mountain Meadow 'Absinthe' x Paphiopedilum Green Paradise 'All Green')We took two green flowers. Most of the offspring are green but with a few tending more to the dominant gene and are showing yellow
91104 Paphiopedilum Sandra’s Barbary Coast
(Paphiopedilum Memoria Sandra Pechter Song 'Green Glow' x Paphiopedilum barbigerum 'Hope')Continuing our late friend Sandra Petcher Song’s attempts to create a teacup size bulldog we took her bulldog crossed with helenae and added another small species, barbigerum. The name celebrates the fact that Sandy went to law school in San Francisco when there was still an area of the city known as the Barbary Coast. Small plant, […]
90411 Paphiopedilum Puna’s Greatness
(Paphiopedilum gratrixianum var. daoense 'Prim & Proper' x Paphiopedilum Punatic Joy 'Spotted Heaven')Another of our attempts at getting a more freely flowering bulldog style. This time using a light colored bulldog style with a spotted variety of the species.

(Paphiopedilum Odette's Moment 'Tsunami Siren' x Paphiopedilum Odette Divine 'Lehua Dark Desire' HCC/AOS)A red bulldog was introduced into this line several generations ago. We now have a red Maud on steroids. Two issues, the flowers are spectacular but are given to color breaks, and the plants need a heavy diet of calcium to avoid yellowing of the leaves.
80206 Paphiopedilum Spicey Monty
(Paphiopedilum Seagrove Spice Girl 'PZ' x Paphiopedilum Satin Cream 'PZ')One quarter spicerianum, three quarters yellow, autumnal bulldog.

(Paphiopedilum A. Dimmock 'PZ' x Paphiopedilum Keyeshill 'PZ')A very old bulldog with a fairly recent bulldog.
70305 Paphiopedilum Fred’s Hell
Another of our attempts to bring bulldog influence into Maudiae style breeding. The use of Hellas helps promote pink, as surprising as that may be. This is another hybrid that likes a lot of calcium, we use crushed oyster shells as a top dressing.
80608 Paphiopedilum lawrenceianum fma hyeanum (album)
(Paphiopedilum lawrenceanum fma hyeanum 'Dorsal Flourish' x selfWe are seeing a lot of variation but all are typical lawrencium. Click on thumbnail to see two examples

(Paphiopedilum Memoria Brittany Nowicki 'PZ' x Paphiopedilum Gyorgy Nagy 'PZ')We are always thrilled to get a novelty Paph (intersectional breeding) to breed on. This time it has produced a variety fo flowers from coloratums following charlesworthii to miniature vini-color

(Paphiopedilum Petula's Flame 'Maroon Majesty' x Paphiopedilum Petula's Presence 'Lehua's Burgundy Beauty' AM/AOS)Absolutely superb vine-colors from this cross. Petula’s Presence is very dark and Petula’s Flame is more to the red end of line.
90303 Paphiopedilum Ghostly Illusion
(Paphiopedilum Ghostly President 'Round Pink' x Paphiopedilum Hawaiian Illusion 'Red Dominant')Illusion just about sums up this cross. The colors are all over the place with very large flowers.

90302 Paphiopedilum Hawaiian Purple
(Paphiopedilum Hawaiian Kapuna 'Slipper Zone Masterful' HCC/AOS x Paphiopedilum purpuratum 'Mason')Typically strong upright unstated stems with a smaller flower that is deep pink to purple distally. Frequent bloomer often with two stems.
