We found the pod parent in the hands of Yoko Fisher (Jerry’s wife) having her photograph taken with it so she could show the size in comparison with her face. The flower is huge and we put it with our green Tomatillo. We ae seeing some intriguingly large greens and yellows.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium > Paphiopedilum Premium - Complex Yellow/Green/Autumnal Shades
Another in our Greek underworld theme we crossed the delightful Hellas which is just like having a new canvas to work with with our very green Emerald Lake, great autumnal shades.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium > Paphiopedilum Premium - Complex Yellow/Green/Autumnal Shades
Hellas just is a lovely flower to work with. It is bringing lovely autumnal shades to a classic yellow bulldog.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium > Paphiopedilum Premium - Complex Yellow/Green/Autumnal Shades
Mele, Hawaiian for merry (we all remember Bing Crosby don’t we, Mele Kalikimaka, Hawaiian for Merry Christmas). For this hybrid we took a saucer sized yellow Mele Star and were successful using it with a green Hellyer Lovely large flowers many tending to shades of green.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium > Paphiopedilum Premium - Novelty
A delightful combination of four sections; Paphiopedilum, Cochlopetalum, Brachypetalum and Parvisepalum. We are surprised it even exists let alone in quantity and even more surprised it does not produce any crippled flowers. The challenge will now be to work with this smaller round bulldog flower and see if it will breed on. Note of caution […]
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium > Paphiopedilum Premium - Complex Yellow/Green/Autumnal Shades
Both parents are nice greens. We are seeing some very exciting flowers with the ripples of the pod parent giving great character to the flowers.

venustum is only 25% but does its influence show through. There are great pouches and often times intriguing petals like these. This flower was awarded in Shreveport LA August 24, 2019, the award is pending but this is a photograph taken by the Big Island award photographer before it was sent to the Shreveport Judging Center

Just 2 years out of flask as of August 2019. We are listing them because the largest look like they will bloom this year. We do not normally remake something, let alone something someone else has made. Imagine our surprise the we found this had been made originally in 1994.

We are seeing both red and spotted bulldogs
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus - Complex Reds & Complex Spots
It is great to be able to bring Startler back into breeding. It has not been used for 15 years. It is just too pure a red to leave out of a program.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus - Complex Reds & Complex Spots
Those of you familiar with our work with Maudiae style will be asking yourselves what isnthe name Odette doing here in the bulldog section. We added Odette’s Spell to Magic Moment to create one of the parents of this bulldog shaped flower. It has produced more offspring than we expected from this inter-sectional.

We remade this roth hybrid for one very simple reason, we dearly love Iantha Stage (roth x sukhakulii) and often wondered what (roth x wardii) would look like. We could never find one so the next option was the remake. These are in 4″ pots and look to be about a year away from blooming […]

in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus > Paphiopedilum Premium Plus -Multifloral
We bred this to try to introduce a different look, and we achieved it. Some are yellow following Judge Philip, some are more towards purple thanks to parishii. The form is also different, some clearly following one parent, others the other parent. And for those of you who are curious about the name, Llandaff is […]

One of the few hybrids we have deliberately made twice. Deperle is normally white. We make it using the vinicolor form of delenatii and the purpurascens form of primulinum. The result is this delightful pink flower that will carry three or even four flowers on the second bloom.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Select > Paphiopedilum Select - Species
The first of the next generation of spicerianum from Lehua Orchids. We bred these with a particular emphasis on stem length and height.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Select > Paphiopedilum Select - Species
A selfing of a lighter colored flower, although there does appear to have been a dark form in the background as we are seeing one or two with much darker leaves.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Select > Paphiopedilum Select - Species
We are so happy to be able to offer this sequential species from the Cochlopetalum section. Our parent, as the name implies has a great pouch. The photo shows a first bloom seedling with the same great pouch.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Select > Paphiopedilum Select - Species
This is the type and this particular group shows great color intensity, especially in the venation on the pouch, hence the side view.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Select > Paphiopedilum Select - Species
We are thrilled to make these available. We tried for years to self the one we have and it refused. It also failed to hybridize. But at last we have plenty of the species. These are two and a half years out of flask as of June, 2019. We expect the largest to initiate flowers […]

We have now made this cross at least 5 different times with different parents. This time there were two AM’s. We took back twelve the next judging and there we four more HCC’s and an AQ. Even the coloraturums on this grex look spectacular. We used an HCC for the photo, we will consider swapping […]

We exhibited three of the first six to bloom and all three were awarded AM’s! Two were attractive pink flames, one with almost no spots and one heavily spotted. We are displaying this vini as we know there is heavy prejudice in favor of vinis.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We achieved what we were breeding for, light color and large size. A very free blooming hybrid that has bloomed very quickly from flask.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
The colors are just astounding, love that dorsal sepal
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Love this form, and the color is quite attractive too, but it does not hold as much appeal as the vinis, unfortunately.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Three awards to this cross, all as cut flowers. It really is a delightful, heavily spotted, flame to vini.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Great flame on a tall upright stem, you have to love all the spots!
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Lovely light colored flowers, but about half of them are album. We crossed a very light coloratum with an almost white green & white. The flowers follow either one parent or the other. There does not seen to be any that are a blend of both parents.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Very nice pink and green flowers with minimal spotting. And for those of you who go to Paph Guild remember to cheer when Mrs Muir’s award slides are screened. Don’t let her grumble about the length of the clonal name as she is want to do on some of our awards!
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Love the down-swept wide petals on the awarded clone. Seeing lots more color in other flowers and tall upright stems

We thought this could look nice so we crossed a very light colored green & white Maudiae style with an album charlesworthii. Guess what, not a one is green! We will self one of these color forms in the hope that in a few years we will have some green charlesworthii hybrids. We need to […]
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Novelty
A really special charlesworthii hybrid. Tall stems, lots of vinis and quite a long time before the dorsal starts to reflex, and we have seen some that do not reflex. Two have been awarded, in Sacramento and in Oakland.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Beautifully bold flowers
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Mostly very dark vinis on noticeably tall stems. There are a few very attractive flames. First one awarded 9/18/19 in So. Calif. at Santa Barbara
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We are showing the 83 point award just because, but we honestly prefer the look of our 78 point HCC to this grex. We should have the photos up in our awards section soon so that you may compare and decide yourselves.

We crossed our awarded flower with an album form in the hopes of increasing the stem length of the albums. We have seen many bloom and are happy to report the stem is improved over the album and shorter than the type. None has flowered album so we plan to self this to try to […]
A lovely selfing of our album larenceanum. It is beautiful in its own right but is also producing some spectacular offspring (see Spring Starlight in our Price Point section. It has been awarded an AQ). Limited quantities remain.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
This is just one of the many colors that are contained in this hybrid. Some are way darker, others even lighter. It is fun!
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Don’t you just love the way venustum dominates but the color is so enhanced. venustum is a grandparent on both sides. The venustum influence makes it very easy to rebloom.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
There is another Odette’s Moon award in our Awards section that shows the color potential of this grex. These typically flower on strong upright unstaked stems.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
venustum on both sides as a grandparent. Lovely flowers, very easy to grow and flower with great foliage. This hybrid attracted the attention of the CSA judges at Santa Barbara Spring 2018, but as far as we know the award has not been published. Photograph to follow.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Big flowers with typically really good form
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Our attempt to eliminate the red/tan/cordovan overlay on a light coloratum. The result is 50% coloratum and 50% green & white. We can’t wait to see what a selfing of either result will bring! Already an AM to this hybrid, the green & white etals are so much larger.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Another of our attempts to eliminate the red/tan/cordovan overlay in the pouch of a pale coloratum. Again the bizarre result, half coloratum, half green & white, fascinating. We can’t wait to see what a selfing will bring, will it eliminate the overlay?
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We keep thinking we have come to the end of the Oxymoron Series but we keep finding them. This time it is a little different bringing in venustum as a grandparent. That makes it a lot freer blooming, adds substance and patterning to the leaves, and makes it just a joy to have around although […]
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
What a green, just a little white showing in the dorsal. This is a very large green & white with most of the pure color of a wardii album. It really has to meet our almost all green Saiun album 40803!
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Already one AM to this cross in the Chicago region. We are charmed by the gentle pinks we are seeing with complimentary spots on the petals.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We crossed a pale coloratum with a very light green & white to see if we could take the color overlay out of the pouch while still retaining color in the spots. The result is interesting, half coloratum and half green & white, nothing in the middle. The real benefit is the green & white […]
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
This clearly favor lawrenceanum but is a much more defined flower with some great synsepals in evidence.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Beautiful pinks surrounding a green center with a splash of spots accenting the petals.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Big spotted coloratum, what else is there to say, except that the sepals really do make the show. There is also an HCC that should soon be added to the awards section.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Another in our series trying to create a flower that is green in the center and pink around the outside with little or no spotting. This was awarded at Paph Guild in January 2019 (‘Slipper Zone’s Leilani AM/AOS 82 points).
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We are getting there in our efforts to have pink with a green center and no spots. The ones we have seen bloom do need more pink into the dorsal but still a charming flower.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
A truly nice green & white memorializing a gracious Michigan lady. One has been awarded but not to us so we do not have the award photo. We have seen several award quality flowers still on our benches.

Monthra? google it, it does relate to moths in a bizarre sort of way. Lovely gentle hints of pink on a spotted flower.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
One of our classic green & whites crossed with one of our Maudiae shaped whites. Mostly light green & white but with an interesting white looking twist.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Lots of spots, large ones very wide petals over a pale green background. At last one was awarded in Hilo so we have a photo. Can you imagine what this would look like if we can enhance the spots in the dorsal? We are working on it.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
The correct American spelling at last. Our apologies if you come across it spelled with two l’s. Graham still occasionally reverts to British English. This is not helped having the registrations take place in the U.K. Just look at those colors and the way they are presented.

We said below that we had come to the end of the Oxymoron Series, but here’s another one. Actually this one is a grandchild of Wood Wonder so technically it is not an Oxymoron Series, but we probably drew a blank thinking up another name. As a grandchild one is showing lighter colors than the […]

On the Kiwi side the original primary hybrid was two small flowers, hennisianum and acmodontom. We have gradually increased the size while keeping many of the delightful features of the original Kiwi Ingenuity, and adding a rainbow of colors. Photograph coming.

We went back to basics by going back to Love Song. Years ago we had over 1000 Love Songs and 5 or 6 of them came out dark. We have all enjoyed seeing the results of hybridizing with these dark Love Songs. We are now intrigued by the prospect of putting them with some of […]

We think this is the fourth time we are listing this cross, now with a different pollen parent. And we think there is a fifth cross in the 2″ section! each time this comes out just beautifully.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
Great award quality flowers from this cross. There are two HCC’s as well and one we have held back from judging. if it corrects its stem issue and flowers the same as this year with the right team it is possible.
in Paphiopedilum > Paphiopedilum Price Point > Paphiopedilum Price Point - Mottled Leaf Coloratum, Vini, and Flames
We are seeing flowers that are a deep pink on tall upright stems. Photograh to follow.

Named for the orchid enabling husband of our friend Sarah Waddoups this is a free blooming very reliable bloomer in August and September each year (it is following the superbiens blooming habit). Putting a venustum hybrid into the mix only makes it that much easier to re-bloom.

We could not believe that this primary hybrid had not been made. We are delighted with the result. However, interestingly we made the same cross using lowii as the pod parent. We have a lot but you will probably never see them as almost all of them with lowii as the pod parent are failing […]
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.
