in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
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.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Fascinating hybrid, only one quarter venustum but each one to flower so far has flowered as an improved venustum. This one with a delightfully tall stem and following the album form. It went to work right away with green and white Maudiae style flowers.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
The flowers are so delightful we keep saying to ourselves there is an AQ in this cross. The problem is we have yet to have 12 flower at the same time. We gave up on getting twelve and took in Macabre Flutter ‘Slipper Zone Vertically Challenged’. Even with a very short stem and no where […]

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, Phragmipediums, Angraecums and Lycaste.
