Paph. Paphiopedilum

Larger than the teacup size, more like a coffee mug, these are small plants, tall stems and spotted flowers.  Flowers frequently. Despite using an album Maudiae and an album species the flowers are coloratum

Magically Wood ‘Pink Diamond’ is exactly the shape and color the name implies.  Add a really bold pink with Odette’s Wish makes this is a very attractive, bold pink flower

Another new hybrid where we are looking to have red dominate, but check 00607 for a completely different look when we used different parents

Again taking the venustum influence to the next generation and seeing a lot of very dominant spots on a pink background

Brings the tall upright stance and long lasting flowers of mastersianum into play while adding red to the petals

Pink coloratums with some incredible coalescing spots

Both parents havendark, almost black, petals

Two large pink coloratums producing delightful, large flowers

Deep maroon to purple vinicolors

Tall deep pink with lots of smaller spots

Looking for the Maudiae look?  This one has it in deep vini-color

Another very light green & white some even approaching white

Yes there is venustum but its influence is not readily apparent.  Tall stem

Another in our attempt to get to red

Again, going for red and seeing a lot of maroon petals

Yes it does snow in Hawaii, we just keep it in a sensible place at 13,000′

Another great Luna Hijinks offspring

Looking for this to be the one that increases the size of our very successful Hawaiian Peacock

Looking for this one to be the parent that will improve the form of our white hybrids

Just look at the clonal names for the parents, that will tell you what we were looking for, but the best one so far shows mostly red

A lighter green & white with the possibility of predominantly white. As the clonal name says, it can happen.  This plant was fine on the first flower and we expect it to be fine of the third.  Who knows what caused this birth defect. When we see another plant in flower we will add it. […]

Light green coloratum with plenty of small spots. nLove to see the synsepal showing.

Tall pink coloratum

Love Luna Hijinks andMacabre Hawaiian adds size especially to the sepals. Click on the icon to see the second photograph

Spring Wolf, the pod parent is a huge flower, Spring Egret brings a delicacy to the flower

Luna Shawdow, the pollen parent, was our best purchase from the Orchid Zone, it produces charming offspring

Macabre Hawaiian is a large flower and produces large offspring

  Using an interesting version of Wonderful Shadow as the pollen paren

Beautiful, tall, pink coloratums

Really distinctive green & whites, heavily favoring green.

Heavily spotted colorant with a multitude of colors

Elegantly tall green & whites

Mostly tall pink coloratums

We are seeing some remarkable sepals, both the dorsal and the synsepal

Really a beautiful green coloratura with many small spots

There is an awarded one, but we think this photograph is more representative of the potential for this hybrid.  Surprised ourselves, we show both this and the awarded one, click on the photo to see both.

Aren’t they all, apologies for using the same comment twice but at least this version has a different look to it.  Sorry have not figured out how to delete the original photo.  Click on the thumbnail to see the new version.

A pink onto a dark petal contrast, intersting and variable

Like spots?  This is for you

Many, like this photo, developing a second bud and presenting it well

Very light colored coloratum with lots of spots

Another great coloratura with a delightful showing of pink and lots of spots.

Obviously named on one of the occasions the Air Force 1 backup was parked at Hilo Airport, causing all sorts of headaches!

Simply gorgeous deep pink coloratums with spots.

Really dark petals, some approaching black but with a few tending towards red

Putting a yellow overlay onto a classic sukhakulii hybrid

Quite variable but the cross has gained three awards.  This is a sibling cross of two we have not exhibited tied

Pink coloratums, we love them.  Jewel Green ‘Withdrawn’ is the finest Jewel Green.  We withdrew it from judging.  But it is producing delightful offspring.

Jewel Green, the pollen parent, was partly one of the finest Maudiae style made by the late Norito

We love the influence of Luna Shadow, the pollen parent.  Delicate shades of pink and lots of small spots for the coloratums but also producing some excellent green & white like the photograph

Again looking to get to red, and we are seeing some maroon petals

Again looking to have red dominate, especially on the petals

For this of you not the judging system, yes it is that Laura

Still showing the venustum influence but on a much taller stem

Is this the sixth or seventh time we have made this cross?  We love these parents ad can’t resist remaking the cross every time we find both parents in bloom.  Photo from an earlier version.

Another red petal work in progress.  The photograph is of an earlier version of this hybrid

Duguesclin is a delight, add the size of Ninja and you have a great green with lots of spots

We love coloraturas heavily overlaid with pink

This surprised us, but the majority clearly follow the pollen parent

We are seeing some very dark petals, some almost black but it is only the coloratum that isn’t camera shy.

The photo is from a previous version, the current remake results are very similar

Adding pink, but still with the influence of venustum showing

Love the pod parent, large bold pink crossed with a tall upright stem of the pollen parent and producing a lot of flowers that look like the photo

Already 7 awards to this hybrid.  Love the synsepal, it frames the pouch beautifully.

Some seriously interesting flowers including ones that look like this

Two very attractive, awarded parents producing some interesting color combinations and spots

Available in “plant only”.  In bud available as a green and white.  We still want to see all “white” potential for future breeding possibilities

Bred to be an exceptional vini-color which we are seeing and the inevitable coloratums that come along with vini-breeding are eye-catching, almost flames.

Another Mr. Wonderful (2010) hybrid with beautiful pink and minimal spotting.  Mr. Wonderful had (2010) added as we all missed the fact there is a hybrid Paphiopedilum registered as Mister Wonderful.  Sorry the photo has small botrytis damage on the dorsal sepal.  The photo will be replaced as soon as possible

A green & white bred using two of our white Maudiae style Paphs.  We are seeing an above average number of white flowers and delightful pale butter yellow flowers.  In bud showing a white bud are $100 when part of your wholesale order. Click on the photo to see an unawarded flower.

Magnificent spots on a yellow to green background color

Another green & white producing an above average number of whites and pale yellows

A beautiful pink and green, mostly without spots, some approaching red, see the second photo, click on the thumbnail

There are already several HCC’s to this grex, but we could not resist taking this flower in for consideration.  This cross is generating a lot of flowers with this appearance.
