Renanthera Red Leopard
(Ren. Poipu 'Hot Shot' x Ren. citrina 'Red Spots')
The parents of Poipu 'Hot Shot' are (Ren. Brookie Chandler x Ren. imschootiana). Blooming in the spring with deep red flowers that last and last for months. This plant first started blooming when it was just 6” tall, it blooms reliably every year and is now just 10” tall. The citrina is a small plant just 8” or so tall at maturity, it is a profuse spring bloomer with long lasting flowers. In this cross, expect long-lived flowers and small plant stature. These will also be easy to grow and flower! This grex will do well indoors and well as outside. The plants will enjoy winter lows of 60 and summer highs of 85, however 50-degree winter nights and 95 summer days will be well tolerated. Baskets are best or a clay pot with coarse bark media, water and fertilize more in summer and less in winter.

Stanhopea tigrina
(Stan. tigrina var. nigroviolacea 'Predator' FCC/AOS x Stan. tigrina 'Glory of Mexico' AM/AOS)
This is our first offering of a Stanhopea! We have selected two of the finest examples of this wonderful species. ‘Predator’ with its dark color and huge flower size and ‘Glory of Mexico’ you can see my hand in the photos, yes, the flower is that big over 7” across!
The germinated protocorms have treated (t) with oryzalin to help induce higher ploidy, the ones that convert will be truly outstanding. I believe this the first ever oryzalin treated seedlings offered of this species…. Once in a lifetime chance to up your game!

SVO 9492 NEW and very cool!
Dimorphorchis Double Identity (proposed grex name)
(Dimo. rossii 'SVO' x Dimo. lowii 'SVO')
This
might be the coolest hybrid! We know how Catasetum are sexually
dimorphic with differently looking male and female flowers. Did you
know that the genus
Dimorphorchis has dimorphic flowers with two differently colored and
shaped flowers on the same inflorescence? The flowers are only “dimorphic”
indicating they are different looking but sexually perfect with both
pollen and a stigmatic surface. The plants produce long cascading
inflorescence where the first 2-3 flowers on the inflorescence
have heavy substance are highly fragrant, in a bright mostly yellow
color; the next flowers are spotted in red! With this cross we believe
is the first hybrid between these two making it a first in the history
of the world! The proposed grex name is Dimo.
Double Identity….. or should it be Dimo. Twice and Nice….or something
darker, like Dimo. Two Faced… We are expecting the plants to produce
dimorphic flowers, and they are showing good hybrid vigor. These are
in 4” pots now, but we think hanging baskets
will be best suited for them as they mature. This is “top of the
awesome list” if you want to distinguish your collection, I am not sure
how it can get better than this!?

Pescatoria New Hybrid (Pes. cerina 'Oceanside' x Pes. coronaria 'Andrea' AM/AOS)
With breeding in this genus just in its infancy, making primaries like this with top-quality parents is important. Pes. cerina tends to make reds and pinks, and here crossed with what must be the very best Pes. coronaria out there, we should get huge, round flowers with fantastic dark red color on big plants. Think big, showy, impressive flowers on big beautiful plants. Exciting!

Lycaste |
SVO 9539
Lyc. Birthday Girl
(Lyc. campbellii 'Green Mite' AM/AOS x Lyc. brevispatha 'Costa Rica')
For a Lycaste, campbellii has an unusually well-rounded petal shape, with petals held in a nearly flat presentation. This characteristic makes it a very attractive flower and should impart this fine quality to its offspring. Lyc. brevispatha has a petal shape and presentation like campbellii, but not quite as pronounced. Here we are expecting the petals to favor the rounded shape and flat presentation of the parents. There will be 5-7 flowers produced per bulb in colors ranging from yellow to red, and some will be blushed red. When mature, the multi-growth plants will develop into 'living bouquets' covering the growths with blooms: impressive! These small-growing plants will be blooming in 3” pots and mature in 4” pots. These are easy to grow! In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out well between waterings. The plants will drop the leaves off in late winter then flower with the beginning of the new growths in the spring.

SVO 10140
(Lyc. Corrimal 'Malcolm' AM/AOS x Lyc. Suave 'Perfect Pixie')
The flowers of Corrimal (Lyc. aromatica x Lyc. macrophylla) 'Malcolm' can be simply stated as beautiful! The plant is a prolific bloomer, producing 5-6 flowers per bulb. Put all this together and you have a spectacular display! Suave 'Perfect Pixie' (Lyc. suaveolens x Lyc. campbellii) is amazingly floriferous, with many flower spikes per bulb. Thanks to the campbellii in its ancestry, petals are held in a flat presentation, making for a fuller-flower appearance. With this hybrid we are developing the idea of “small plants with lots of flowers”. This new direction in breeding will give us flower colors in yellow blushed in red-burgundy. Lots of flowers will be produced per bulb, creating pots filled with a bouquet of blooms. The cross will produce plants that will stay small, bloom in 3-4” pots with the developing growth in spring. These are easy to grow! In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out well between waterings. The plants will drop the leaves off in late winter then flower with the beginning of the new growths in the spring.

SVO 10481 NEW
(Lyc. dowiana 'SVO Best' x Lyc. campbelii 'Green Mite' AM/AOS)
This hybrid appears to be unregistered by the Royal Horticultural Society… That's a little hard to believe! The floral characteristics and plant habits of each parent are impressive, making of a lots of potential. Lyc. dowiana is a compact plant producing flowers continuously for 5-6 months, it really is in an impressive bloomer. The Lyc. campbellii has an unusually well-rounded petal shape that are held in a nearly flat presentation making a very attractive flower and each mature bulb produced 5-7 flowers. We are anticipating compact floriferous plants with high flower quality, 3-4 flowers per bulb and if the dowiana does when we hope it will you might just get 2 or 3 flowerings a season. How nice will that be? Grow these as all the Lycaste listed.

Thanks to the campbellii in its ancestry, petals are held in a flat presentation, making for a fuller-flower appearance. In the spring these will produce impressive bouquets of flowers from leafless plants with new leaves just starting to come up between the flowers. In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist.

Ansellia |
SVO 9537
( Aslla. gigantea 'Nelspruit' x Aslla. gigantea 'Dark Warrior')
'Nelspruit' is also a new addition from Afri-Orchids noted breeding lines; it has an outstanding flower count, heavily branched inflorescences and flowers with nearly solid color, with just a little yellow showing through. Of special note is the dark color on the side of the lip, which is rare in Ansellias. Could 'Nelspruit' be the key to unlock and develop sold dark flower color? 'Dark Warrior' has massive flowers, wide segments and coalescing boldly colored spotting with a branching upright inflorescence. This pairing is targeting for nearly solid dark colored flowers, and lots of them!
