semi-hydro is not traditional my friend go back to sphagnum

We take pre-orders up to 2 days before the show, just let us know. The only thing we can't bring are large bags of bark etc. as they take up too much cargo space in the van. This year, my father and Robert will be attending the event. Thanks, Jason

Thanks, I'm making a list of notes to repair. John, go build your own damn site :p Seriously, that's good to know, I can fix those little typos. After putting in thousands of plants, there's bound to be some typos etc. I think we listed that Amesiella before the taxonomists changed the...

Nice, I hadn't even noticed that part yet (this is the good thing about feedback from another web designer!), I will definitely be fixing that!

Working on it! The nice thing about this website is now, finally, we have major control over the administrative section and can program a lot more than before. I do think it is time to make a section for minature and fragrant plants. I also agree that neofinetia and moniliforme need to be...

Yep, looks very much like a cochlopedilum crossed with a brachy, even the leaves look like that kind of breeding... the funny thing is this is supposed to be besseae x micranthum. Only way I'd believe it was via DNA testing, but even so, I see absolutely no trace of either parent in this plant.

We've finally launched our new website. There are many updates etc.. that still have to go up, but for now enjoy! Try it out, navigate, see how you like it. Feel free to post feedback. www.orchidweb.com. Best wishes, Jason

A recent addition to the mini complex, Warrior x henryanum holds a large and colorful flower on a small plant. This is our first one to flower in a 3" pot! Here's the product link: http://www.orchidweb.com/cat_dtl.asp?P_Recno=3606&f_pagenumber=2&tpn=3

Since the plant has a double shot of niveum, the foliage looks very much like a brachy would. The plant is also very compact, and flowered in a 3.25" pot. I believe the flower size is slightly smaller in NS than most diploid Woluwense, however the width of the petals is comparable to a diploid...

When I re-made this cross, I knew that we had already thrown away Woluwense (rothschildianum x niveum) with 15 to 20 growths because they had never bloomed once. These were the old hybrids made with roth as a pod parent. We happened to have a 4N niveum blooming at the time, and I used it as a...

This is correct. I think a lot of hope was lost with these hybrids as Rolfei, Woluwense and Daisey Barclay were known for multi-growth but not to flower often, if ever at all. The new generation will fix this in my opinion. The brachy or parvi should also be used as a pod parent. I...

Not bad at all! One cross I'm going to make is Bel Royal (roth x kolo) x rothschildianum. I'd like bigger roth-like flowers with a 6 to 7 flower count!

This means that the seedpod is seperated by three different chambers. If you were to cut a phrag. seedpod in half and observe the ovary chambers, it would look like a peace symbol. Subliminal message?

OK, now I realize that we have to stop using those green stakes when packing neo's... that color spot in the moss is horrible! Thanks again for the order. Jason

Grandma, those are nice looking phrags! Quick correction on the hybrid: Silver Eagle = schlimiii x czerwiakowianum I don't think schlimii x popowii has been registered yet, but I could be wrong. It sounds like an interesting hybird... I'll have to make it! Hows the Stairway to...

Hey now, 996 points is completely possible when we are dealing with phrag. Jason Fischer ;)

I think that longifolium is probably the easiest phrag there is to grow, and is the first phrag species someone should try if they haven't before. Another important note on longifolium is its importance in breeding. The vigor of the longifolium always comes through, therefore making...

John, If you see this, you may post the list I PM'd you for others to see as well (I forgot what I listed) as I know I can make more divisions. This way people can save a few bucks if they are interested in smaller divisions. Your plants have all been potted up and are ready to go when you...

Garland, You're scaring us with that picture! That must have been before the hot sake! Isaias, I think it would be a great idea for other countries to allow export of pollen. If all countries made it easy to export and import orchids in vitro and via pollen, perhaps it would help...

If I could legally obtain PK pollen from Peru I would! You can bet it will be one of the first hybrids I make when the PK bloom here.
