Within the next 6 months, we will be listing many flasks on a regular basis. Here are a couple for now. I have two flasks available right now of Wellesleyanum (leucochilum x concolor) x wenshanense. The goal here is to produce a larger looking Wellesleyanum flower as wenshanense are...

These aren't slippers, but they sure are neat! I am starting to list some of the "Nishiki Bachi" pots on our website now. These are all individual pots, so the picture you see is the pot you get. Quite impressive art work from the Aichi prefecture in Japan, which makes the most...

Long time no post everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been more active lately. Happy Spring! We have a good production of primulinum flavum flasks that are ready for de-flasking, cram-packed with healthy plants. These are very vigorous seedlings. There are approximately 25 + plants per flask...

Excellent form on this one Ross, I like it!

Hello all. I thought I'd start a new thread on this one, so people don't have to search for all the pics. This kovachii was de-flasked in the spring of 2005, almost taking 5 years to flower. It is the first kovachii we have flowered. We had one from the same batch spike last summer, but it...

Hey Tom, Yes, that's a squarrosa... so they are called Huperzia now? I can't keep up! We've had that one for about 10 years now. Up in the corner is our severe macaw, Paco. Leo, You are probably right on the size. I know Chuck Acker's plant was in the 18 to 20cm range. I think it...

Wow, this thing keeps growing! It now measures +.2 cm bigger petal width and NS! Larger than this morning.

Ugh... it had to bloom on a bad hair day.

It is actually 'Maximus' x 'Goliath', just to set the record straight. This is from the same cross Chuck Acker flowered last year.

Dear Canadian customers, I deeply regret to inform you that I am unable to attend the orchid fair this year. We have been waiting on our Cites permits from the US Fish and Wildlife. Unfortunately, the office is located in Washinton D.C., which was shut down for almost an entire week due...

I have noticed that almost all parvi x brachy hybrids have uneven petals. When the bud is forming, one of the two petals is 'hugging' the other (this will be the larger petal), giving it a larger size as it overlaps the smaller petal. I wonder if other paphs have a similar blooming habit...

I like this plant but it is definitely not Paph. Baby Face. It looks predominantly of barbigerum (the foliage even looks very small), yet there is no barbigerum in Paph. Baby Face. Most likely this is 50% barbigerum + another species or near primary cross. The parents are Saint Ouens Bay x...

Sorry I forgot to include this note: Note: A 10% handling fee will be added to cover permit document processing on international orders. Thanks! Jason

The 'Rick Hunter' besseae parent comes from an old Orchid Zone sib of ('Ozone' x 'Eat my Dust'), which still are excellent breeders for size and color. The Mem. Dick Clements 'Red Wing' is the best breeding MDC we have, but I don't know when or where it originated from. It has been here for...

February 19th - 21st - Orchid Society of Alberta Orchid Fair, Canada Orchids Limited will be a vendor at this event. Pre-orders are welcome. Please specify "Alberta Orchid Society" in the special instructions field when placing an order online. Since this is an international orchid event...

I actually updated our web with our own photo, so this comparison is gone. Personally, I don't think that either photo we received for kovachii x wallisii and kovachii x schlimii were accurate, if even real. kovachii x schlimii looked to be photoshop-ed together, and the kovachii x wallisii...

I thought I'd announce that this is the best time of the year to transplant cypripedium as the root systems are large from the summer growth season, and the dormant eyes are developed so we can get a good count on what should flower next season. If you ever wanted a large cyp. reginae clump...

Dear Canadian customers: I'll be at this event and bringing pre-orders as well. I just wanted to remind those of you attending this show that the deadline for all Appendix II plants (basically everything but paphs or phrags) is September 15th. Here's the info from our website: October 17th &...

Hey Tom, Long time no speak! I have found that some 'Shutennou' plants, as like many other color forms, simply bloom better than others. Perhaps there are genetics involved as well. However, for the most part, specimen plants flower very well for us. I think what makes the big...

While this is the smallest kovachii hybrid I have seen to date (10 CM NS), I have become very fond of this flower. The color is nice, and the flower is fragrant which is a trait from schlimii. I plan on breeding it with other schlimii hybrids to keep working with the fragrance, but also would...
