Awards

Lehua Orchids is now the leading awarded hybridizer of Slipper Orchids.  Orchid Wiz X8.0 shows us with 289 of our hybrids having received awards.  That is approximately over 40% of our 666 registered slipper hybrids.

Mahalo to the many people who have exhibited our hybrids.  We could not have done this without you.  About a third of our awarded hybrids have never been awarded to Lehua Orchids, only to our customers, or, more importantly, to our customers’ customers.

Some highlights along the way include two AD/AOS awards for our new line of white Maudiae style flowers and three CUT FLOWER AQ/AOS awards, the first cut flower AQ’s ever; and the most slipper AQ awards to any hybridizer.

Phragmipediums

Yes we love them, we just do not see opportunities to hybridize with them and produce the different forms and colors that we can achieve working with Paphs, especially Maudiae style. At this time all we see are basically three styles.  Small, based on schlimii, besseae etc.  Colorful based on kovachii.  Large out of the […]
