Two classical primary phrags, Hanne Popow and Barbara LeAnn are back in stock. We haven't re-made these hybrids in several years, so it will be exciting to see the new form and color this time around. The pictures posted are from our previous plants as we have not seen these flower as of yet...

JeanLux, we do have the Allison Strohm flowering size that my father could bring to Europe this spring. That cross is Living Fire x kovachii. On another note, the kovachii hybrids all open up nice and flat, then start to reflex in the petals and dorsal within 4 to 7 days. The Suzanne...

Pictures don't do these flowers justice in one respect; you can't really see how humongous these are! We are all used to what phrags and their hybrids do, so we generally see a pic and figure the flower is between 6 and 10 CM large. I have to hand it to Glen Decker, he really had the right...

This is a cross between malipoense and primulinum, however the primulinum is a 4N in this case. With a double shot of primulinum genes, the malipoense is almost washed out of this flower. I just thought you may find this interesting. Here's a link to the product...

Ditto! We will ensure plants arrive safely. If the weather is too cold we will postpone shipping and our wonderful Kyle will host the plants until weather permits.

Hello all, I will be attending the Manitoba Orchid Society Annual 2009 show March 26th- 29th. I will primarily be bringing paph and phrag species/hybrids and Japanese species along with some misc. orchids. Pre-orders must be placed by 2/9. However, we can not allow pre-orders for paph or...

I just complained (all in good humor, of course) to the person who registered the plant partly because I was jealous that he beat me to using this name, but mostly because any thing with the name 'Optimus Prime' should be RED!

That's the information I've heard, but have never experienced it first hand. I can certainly see a multi-growth kovachii spiking a few times throughout the year. I have a feeling our first kovachii is in low spike now, so I'll have to time it!

This is a long thread so I haven't bothered to check if anyone mentioned that Phrag. kovachii can take 8 months to open from the first signs of a low spike. That probably helps explain the wait!

Hey guys, I forgot to mention that you can use some coupon codes now. They went out with our newsletter, but if you did not receive it the coupon codes are: MULTI PARVI MAUD For multifloral, parvisepalum and maudiae type paphs. It is for an additional 15% off. The special ends...

That's the kind of response I expected Candace. I will also list these specials on our web, but ordering via the forum will give you more flexibility and the bonus plant if you order 10 or more. You can get the same deal on our website my mentioning slippertalk special in the special...

Hello all, I wanted to try something new that would allow people to get a variety of plants for a little less $. The first list is for paphs, followed by phrags near the bottom of the list. As a bonus, any order of 10 or more plants will receive a free seedling of our choice. The Dug Out...

Beware local Minnesotans, this lady is nothing but trouble, avoid at all costs! Hopefully I can attend the next meeting as well to try and keep her under control. Maybe I'll bring a few neos :). OK just kidding, she's a sweetheart.

I'd say it's Mem. Larry Heuer. The only other possibility could be fanaticum x emersonii, but I doubt it.

That 'saw-tooth' trait comes from the Eric Young 'Rocket Fire', which is also known to be labeled as 'Mont Millais' as well. It's a 4N which Chuck has used extensively in phrag breeding. It's a great breeder for size, but unfortunately it often passes on the jagged edges. However, sometimes...

Hello all, I'm offering a special on Paph. Phoebe (bellatulum x phlippinense) which is for a blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot for $35. The special is free USPS Priority Mail shipping. Additional plants of the same size will cost $4 per plant for shipping. Payments can be made via...

My guess is that it would be nice and round with lots of fine spotting, but not nearly as dark. Perhaps some would come out heavily spotted as well. Next spring I'm going to try and import flasks of brachys like this one.

Here's a teaser for you. Remember this one as I'm making as many hybrids as possible with it right now. The saturated spot brachy have been around in Japan for a while, but I haven't seen anything offered in the US yet. Another interesting point about this flower is the background is...

Cool! So far I haven't really seen a bad flower from this cross. Gotta love that emersonii as it really fills out the petals when used in breeding.

I'd also like to note that the 3N Barbara LeAnn is on its 3rd growth, and the weather here is nice and cool right now. The combination of large leaves and cool weather brought out the full potential in this hybrid. This goes the same for pretty much any besseae hybrid. You'll never really...
