Pot. Little Toshie (Blc. Toshie Aoki 'Pokai' AM/AOS x Sc. Beaufort 'Hartford's Elwood' 4N AM/AOS)
For years I have been dreaming about re-making Little Toshie. The original grex made 30 years ago, and garnering 11 AOS awards, was the darling of orchid growers in the '90s. This remake will give equally exceptional results. Now is the time to get your unique plant of this modern classic. Plants will be 8” tall, compact in habit, flower twice a year with yellow blooms and red lips. Some will have yellow petals with red accents on the tips!

(Psh. Green Hornet 'SVO' x Psh. baculus 'SVO')
The baculus plants have a unique flowering habit where the 2 blooms are back-to-back on a short stem, they are highly fragrant, dispersing their perfume throughout the entire growing area. Green Hornet (Psh. cochleata x Psh. trulla) is impressive with 12 flowers open at one time. It also has a sequential blooming habit where 10-12 more flowers follow after the first flush of blooms.  We are hoping for highly fragrant flowers with 5-6 per inflorescence. These will grow fast and bloom early too.

(Enc. Renate Schmidt 'Maroon Starburst' AM/AOS x Enc. Cashens' Brown Sugar 'A Go Go')
Renate Schmidt (Enc. Orchid Jungle x Enc. alata) 'Maroon Sunburst' has excellent color. The petals are a dark chestnut burgundy with yellow at the base. The lip is white with purple veins and a yellow margin. In addition, these carry over 50 flowers on a branched, upright inflorescence. We acquired Cashens' Brown Sugar (Enc. Orchid Jungle x Enc. Atroniceum) from Cal Orchid, we were impressed by its yellow and brown flower colors, great shape and high flower count. These two parents will complement each other. The flowers of the offspring will be yellow and dark chestnut, with bright yellow lips striped in red. Expect many fragrant flowers on branched inflorescences.

Blc. LaVerna's Gemstones (Bl. Richard Mueller '4n' x Bc. Gulfshore's Beauty 'Green Dean' HCC/AOS)
Richard Mueller (B. nodosa x L. milleri) is a well-recognized breeder and an important parent in many Brassavola hybrids. A recent addition to this breeding group is Gulfshore's Beauty (B. nodosa x C. dormaniana). The cultivar 'Green Dean' is a chance 4n clonal mutation we found in a population blooming at Cal Orchid. These are easy-to-grow plants with starry-shaped flowers in green to yellow with pink to red lips!

Slc. Cape Flame (Lc. Trick or Treat 'Orange Magic' AM/AOS x Sl. Orpetii 'Kathleen III')
Originally bred and registered by the Duckitt Nursery of South Africa.  We first saw these flowering at Cal Orchid in Santa Barbara. The red flower color impressed everyone.  I did not forget the first impression it made on me. When we found the two parents flowering simultaneously, the remake had to be done. We used the tetraploid forms of Trick or Treat and Orpetii. Will this give a better result? We can hardly wait to find out!

(Pot. Al Thanhauser 'SVO Best' x Slc. Angel Eyes 'SVO' AM/AOS)
The impressive flowers of Al Thanhauser (C. Orchidglade x Pot. Rubescence) are a sparkling red color with dark burgundy lips. The strong stems carry 4-5 shapely blooms. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has been in our breeding program for years and has created many successful crosses. It is particularly good at producing flared flowers, flat petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth. We are experimenting with this cross and are expecting good strong stems, large flowers, compact plants and flared blooms in a rich variety of colors.

Lc. Blue Pearl (C. walkeriana f. semi-alba 'Tokyo No. 1' AM/AOS x Lc. Aloha Case 'Hsinying')
There is nothing BLUE about this cross!  It's going to be semi-alba, white flowers with red lips!   These plants are going to be 6” to 7” tall, with two, 4” wide flowers of heavy substance and excellent shape reminiscent of a super good walkeriana.   I really like the eye-catching semi-alba color combination.

(C. Vickie Andrews 'RJM' x Lc. Arctic Moon 'Rochelle')
Our ongoing obsession with creating a pure white mini-Catt is hard at work with this cross. C. Vickie Andrews (C. Princess Bells x C. Angelwalker) is a large, pure white flower produced from a compact sized plant standing 10” tall.  Arctic Moon (Lc. Mini Purple x Lc. Janet) 'Rochelle' might be the best white mini-Catt so far. Thanks to the influence of L. pumila in its breeding the lip is full in shape with the column completely covered by the side lobes. This gives the flower a more standard Cattleya look. The plants are just 6” tall with 3.5” flowers! We believe this breeding will be breaking new ground in developing 'mini-Catt' plants with white flowers having the fine flower shape of standard white Cattleyas.

Epc. Isler's Goldregen (C. aurantiaca 'SVO Spots' x Epi. stamfordianum 'Pink')
Making novelty hybrids is a lot of fun. You are not quite sure what to expect and sometimes they are very surprising. Although this is a registered hybrid, no photos exist from the originator.  In our catalogs you have read about the success and wonderful hybrids made by Epc. Kyoguchi (C. aurantiaca x E. incumbens) and we believe this cross has the potential to be as Kyoguchi.   We are anticipating many fragrant, Starry orange-yellow flowers spotted in red on branched inflorescences.  I might just bet they will flower twice a year, in summer and again in the spring!   Additionally, these have been treated with Oryzalin (t) help to induce offspring of higher ploidy. The converted plants will be very desirable with larger flowers and heavier substance.

(Lc. Spring Fires 'Lenette No. 3' x Slc. Virginia Dickey 'Diamond Orchids' AM/AOS)
Each spring the impressive display of flowers from Spring Fires (Lc. Fires of Spring x Lc.  Fire Island) lights up the greenhouse. Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) is a small plant that blooms twice a year from a 3” pot. Its sturdy stems display 2-4 bright red flowers of superior form.  This cross will deliver red flowers on good upright stems, all from compact plants just 10” tall. They will start to bloom early in 3” pots and be fully mature in 4” pots.

(Slc. Katherine Clarkson 'SVO' HCC/AOS x Lc. Little Dipper 'SVO Sato' 4n)
After the success of the hybrid  Slc. Cosmic Future (Katherine Clarkson x Cosmic Angel) PHOTO , PHOTO , PHOTO, we started to explore similar lines of breeding where yellow spotted flowers are crossed to flared flowers.  We carefully selected the parents of this cross based on how Katherine Clarkson (C. Mark Jones x Slc. Jungle Gem) flowers twice a year with 3-5, large, shapely, yellow flowers with bold red spots and how the exceptionally flat, flared flowers.  Little Dipper (C. Angelwalker x C. Batalinii) have been dominant in breeding numerous other hybrids.   Flared and spotted Catts is the hottest trend in our breeding lines, this cross is breaking new ground and may sent a new standard of quality!

(Lc. Mem. Robert Strait 'Islander Delight' 4N x self)
Many (like 30) years ago while visiting the nursery Orchid Center in Hawaii, the owner Richard Takafuji showed me a large batch of flowering Mem. Robert Strait clones numbering 400-500 plants.  He said, “Can you find the tetraploid mutations?”.  Several hours later I showed him my find. He was pleased, as I had selected a “good one”.  That is the plant we selfed for this offering.  The parents of Mem. Robert Strait are (C. walkeriana x C. Lc. Wayndora). I can safely say “This cultivar had the best flower shape and substance of them all”    The later summer blooming quality of Mem. Robert Strait makes it very collectible, it's  compact plant with beautiful large flowers.

Carolina Orange D'Or (Blc. Carolina Golden D'Or x Blc. Malworth D'Or) was a hybrid from 30 years ago. Its fine shape and head of orange flowers made it popular. Slc. Mem. Trudi Marsh (Slc. Tangerine Jewel x Slc. Cosmic Delite) is a modern mini-Catt hybrid with nice flaring, flower shape, and blooms twice a year. This is a cross of two extremes, a test cross.  We are anticipating orange, red and yellow flowers, with flat well-formed blooms. Many will be flared, and plants will be compact. We will be waiting impatiently to see how these come out.

Oconee Circle) has flowers that are true red, excellent shape and are over 4” across on a plant that's just 7” tall. Diana's Rubies (Pot. Mem. Irene Feil x Pot. Lebenkreis) is also a true red flower, with great shape and sturdy stems holding the blooms. Here is a short list of the ancestral parents: Circle of Life, Oconee, and Toshie Aoki. If I was betting on a great red catt, this is where I would put my money.

(Bc. Little Mermaid 'Janet' AM/AOS x Slc. Angel Eyes 'SVO' AM/AOS)
Little Mermaid (C. walkeriana x Bc. Maikai) is a simple hybrid with lots of character. Its flowers are influenced by the three species in its linage: shape by B. nodosa, flower count by C. bowringiana, color from C. walkeriana. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has been in our breeding program for over 20 years and has created many successful crosses. It imparts beautiful flaring, flat, full petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth in its offspring. You will see there are many hybrids made with it this year. So, what to expect from this novelty cross?  These will be starry shaped flowers with broad lips. The flower colors will be pink shades. The petals will have darker flares and some may be spotted. The sturdy stems will display 4-5 flowers.   All in all, this might just be a very new, novel look in Catt breeding.

Our ongoing quest for white compact-Catts continues with this cross.  ericoi (C. warneri x L.  praestans) has two, large, pure white flowers with a tubular lip, all from a plant just 8” tall.  The C. Victorian Lace (Moon Festival x walkeriana) is white with wide, full-shaped petals and heavy substance. The plants are about 8” tall. This combination will give large, white flowers on 8” tall plants. We are hoping the tubular lips of Ericoi will dominate. I have been keeping an eye on how these are growing; the vigor is impressive.

(C. x ericoi 'SVO Pure Snow' x Slc. Aloha Lana 'November Snow')
To say the least, we are excited about the breeding potential of ericoi (C. warneri x L.  praestans). Its large flower size, pure color, and tubular lip are promising ingredients in this next cross with Slc. Aloha Lana (Sc. Lana Coryell x Lc. Aloha Case). Who would think the flower color from a Sophrolaeliocattleya (Slc.) would be white?  It's true with this cultivar of Slc. Aloha Lana 'November Snow', it's also a mini-Catt!  Our optimism with this cross is measurable (not sure how to measure that but it's a lot). We are anticipating small plants, with large white, shapely flowers and tubular lips. This has got to be good.

It's a compact grower and best of all it has fragrant white flowers. Here we are trying to breed plant size down and keep the white flower color by breeding it with the highly awarded L. pumila f. alba 'Kathleen'.  From this cross we are hoping for mini plants but most likely they will be about 6-8” tall. The flowers should be white, and lips tubular.

It is also a good grower and flowers twice a year. This is another “we can't wait to see these bloom” type of cross. Here we are working to develop compact plants that are quick to flower, with strong stems of 4-5 colorful flared flowers, and easy to grow in a wide range of conditions. That's not too much to ask!  Lots of potential for some great things coming out of this pairing.  Can you believe we made the same cross three times this year? Same as SVO 11322 and SVO 11440.

And even after all this time, it is still one of the largest Mini Purple flowers awarded. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has also been in our breeding program for over 20 years. It has created many successful crosses, including lots for this year. It imparts beautiful flaring, flat, full petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth in its offspring. So many good qualities! I suppose I could have made this cross 20 years ago. Sometimes inspiration takes a while. The expectation is for large, flat flowers, approaching 4” across. Most all will be flared in purple, with compact plants just 6-7” tall.

As a hybridizer, I love developing new directions in breeding. One area of development needing work is dark purple flowers with deep purple flares. Of course they must have excellent shape, size and be easy to grow on compact plants. We believe this hybrid is a good step in that direction. Lc. Mini Song (Mari's Song x Mini Purple) has the right flower color, size and shape, sadly no photo.  The Crimson Dragon (Lc. Lisye Sentiasa x Slc. Durban Rose) is a new line of breeding developed for intense purple color and flares. These two parents were a natural combination. We are looking for full, round shaped flowers,3-4” bloom size on compact plants with desirable dark purple segments with darker flares.

Pink flowers with yellow lips are the breeding goal here.  Ann Akagi (Lc. Puppy Love x C. nobilior) has upright inflorescences, excellently shaped flowers with lip colors trending in the direction towards yellow. Sandra Laura (Lc. Pink Treasure x Lc. Orchidglade) has hot pink flowers with yellow lips. Its spot on target in color. This hybrid will capitalize on the qualities of each parent. Expect shapely flowers in pink, with good stems of 5-6 blooms and yellow lips!

(Pot. Twenty-four Carat 'Lea' AM/AOS  x Pot. Little Toshie 'Gold Country' AM/AOS)
Twenty-four Carat (Pot. Lemon Tree x Blc. Yellow Imp) has brilliant solid yellow flowers, and eye-catching bright color. The inflorescence holds 4-5 flowers over 4” in size. The plant is a vigorous grower. Little Toshie (Blc. Toshie Aoki x Sc. Beaufort) is also a superb grower, with excellent flower quality and color. This cross is all about yellow, bright intense yellow, contrasting against red lips. It blooms 2-4 times a year on compact plants. The plants will be 8-10” tall, with 3-4 well presented flowers.

(Lc. Dennis Olivas 'The Best' AM/AOS x Slc. Laszlo's Spark 'Mini Flare')
The big clusters of star-shaped flowers produced by Lc. Dennis Olivas (Trick or Treat x Penny Kuroda) are spectacular. Their yellow blooms with red flares really command attention. When Slc. Laszlo's Spark (Mem. Trudi Marsh x Sunrise Fantasy) first bloomed in the plug tray, it was a keeper. Check out its shape and color!  The expectation for this cross is to reduce by half the plant size of Dennis Olivas. That would make a 10” tall plant.  Increase the flower count of Laszlo's Spark up to 5-8 blooms, and combine the flower color of both, into a flared mix of red and yellow.

(Pot. Burana Angel 'No.3' x Slc. Virginia Dickey 'Diamond Orchids' AM/AOS)
With this cross we are exploring new possibilities. If you have been following SVO's mini-Catt breeding, it's hard not to have seen Virginia Dickey used in many hybrids over the last few years. It imparts small plant stature, good stems and shapely red flowers. Burana Angel (Pot. Burana Beauty x Slc. Bright Angel) blooms with 5 flowers on an upright inflorescence. The red flowers have red flares, presenting pretty cool, red on red flowers.  Here we are looking plants to be 8” tall, strong stems of 4-5 flowers and expecting to many have the red on red flaring, some will have yellow flaring.

(Lc. Pink Treasure 'Mini Loddigesii' x L. Finckeniana 'Kennedy's' 4n)
I think the pink flower with yellow lip combination is beautiful. The flowers of Pink Treasure (Lc. Tiny Treasure x C. loddigesii) resemble a smaller version of C. loddigesii. Finckeniana is originally from Santa Barbara Orchid Estate. It is a tetraploid mutation with larger, more shapely flowers, and better colors than the original. With this cross we are capitalizing on each parent's plant habit.  Expect the offspring to have strong stems of 5-7 well shaped blooms, in the desirable pink with yellow lips from compact plants 10” tall.

(Pot. William Farrell 'Native Son' x Sc. Lana Coryell 'Pink')
The flowers of William Farrell (Slc. Helen Veliz x Bc. Llano) are impressive! Its strong stems hold 5-6 well-arranged flowers in a beautiful soft peach color. Additionally, its ancestry is a veritable who's who of Cattleya breeding from the 1950s and '60s. This cultivar of Lana Coryell (C. walkeriana x Sc. Beaufort) came from Carter & Holmes. It has attractive well-shaped, soft pink flowers with yellow lips. We were inspired to make this cross based off the breeding work of the late David Littman from Brisbane Australia. He used Lana Coryell very effectively, breeding it on to the large standard Cattleyas, resulting in many successful and highly awarded hybrids. Based on this success, we are expecting the flowers of the grex to be well-rounded, with flat petals, full shaped ruffled lips, in soft pink to salmon colors, with 3-5 flowers per inflorescence.  Our intuition tells us this is going to be good!

(Pot. Oconee Circle 'SVO' x Slc. Purple Doll 'Midnight Velvet' AM/AOS)
Oconee Circle (Slc. Circle of Life x Blc. Oconee) has an amazing flower. It is far superior to its parents, with surprisingly nice color, size, and shape. The photo shows its quality best. Purple Doll (Slc. Pink Doll x Lc. Mini Purple) 'Midnight Velvet' has an intense magenta-purple color. It blooms 3-4 times a year (it really does) with flowers of excellent shape on a small plant standing just 5” tall.  This is a large compact-Catt crossed with a mini-Catt.  We believe that we can capitalize on the flower size, color and shape of Oconee Circle and the flat flowers and small plant size of Purple Doll to deliver a hybrid with full rounded petals, in deep crimson-red flowers with full lips, where the plants are just 8” tall.  Potentially, it is very promising.

The flowers of Denis Roessiger (Pot. Golden Circle x Slc. Angel Eyes) are very rounded, with an unusual red on red flaring, with a well-shaped red lip and a spot of yellow in the throat. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has been in our breeding program for years with many successful crosses to its credit.  Both of these parents have larger than average flower size. Each has a unique flaring pattern on the petals. The flowers will have colorful flares and be 4” across, possibly larger. The plants from this cross will be 7-9” tall.  I'm thinking this cross is going to surprise us.

Springtime clusters of bright orange flowers on a compact plant…perfect for all those shows and to brighten your spring.  Shinfong Little Sun (Lc. Golden Girl x Pot. Taida Love Star) has deep orange flowers. Blc. Hawaiian Discovery (Orange Nuggett x Bouton D'Or) flower is, as the cultivar name describes, 'Fluorescent Orange'.  Ok so an orange flower color is a given in a shape with full, broad lips, and sturdy stems. It will display 5-7 flowers from a compact plants just 10” tall.

Candy Sparks (Slc. Mem. Trudi Marsh x Slc. Angel's Fantasy) is a true mini-Catt. Plants are just 6” tall. The flowers are beautifully flared in red and yellow. They bloom twice a year. We used Candy Sparks as a parent a lot this year. Combining it with Denis Roessiger will increase flower size, intensify the colors of the flared flowers, give well rounded flowers and 3-4 flowers per inflorescence.

This is outstanding breeding.  Rubescent Magic (Pot. Rubescence x Lc. Tokyo Magic) with its impressive flowers is truly spectacular. Martha's Sunburst (Pot. 11344 x Slc. Tokyo Life) is also just as impressive. Both parents have 4-7 large, well-arranged flowers on strong inflorescences. The beautiful flaring of both parents is from the L. briegeri ancestral species on both sides of his hybrid. This cross is a “natural”, that is, it will strengthen the good qualities mentioned from each parent. We are expecting some exceptional flowers to be generated from this pairing and AOS awards.

I think this cross might just be the perfect match. I am surprised I did not make it sooner!  Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) has a lot of great breeding qualities. It blooms twice a year with 2-4 well displayed bright red flowers of superior form from a handsome plant. Circle of Life (Lc. Culminant x Soph. coccinea) needs little introduction. The cultivar 'Trailblazer' might be the most well-known, with its impressive shape and very wide petals. In this pairing we expect Circle of Life to impart flower shape and size. Virginia Dickey will reinforce the red color, improve inflorescence strength and reduce plant size.  What's not to like about this cross?

(Pot. Paradise Rose 'Hilo' x Pot. Circle of Nine 'SVO')
If you want the darkest, most vibrant crimson-red flowers imaginable, you just can't go wrong with this type of breeding. The flowers of Paradise Rose (Slc. Pink Doll x Blc. Toshie Aoki) are a vibrant carmine-red color. How did this happen? Let's look at its parents. Pink Doll has purple flowers, and Toshie Aoki has a yellow flower and red lip. The color of Paradise Rose results from an interesting phenomenon of color dominance. The yellow flowers of Toshie Aoki are derived from the influence of C. dowiana, which is known to intensify purples. Paradise Rose combines these recessive traits perfectly, producing intense carmine-red flowers. Now imagine this cross with Circle of Nine (Pot. Loud Nine x Slc. Circle of Life). Its flowers are large flat flowers with super wide petals, in a deep red with dark burgundy red lips.  These offspring are going to have incredible color, superior shape, beautiful lips and the tendency to flower twice a year. Plant will be just 8” tall. This truly is the epitome of the modern red compact Cattleya!

Tokyo Life (Lc. Tokyo Magic x Slc. Circle of Life) has been successful on several levels. The compact plants produce warm sunset-colored flowers with excellent shape. Martha Clarke (Blc. Love Sound x Slc. Circle of Life) is such a good grex that I named it after my wife! Yes, it's her namesake. The cultivar 'Orange Tart' is one of the best, with excellent shape and color. When you study the breeding, you find Circle of Life on both sides and looking even deeper you find the rupicolous L. briegeri on both sides as well. This ancestry gives an indication of what to expect. Plants will be compact, and flower color will range from light sunset colors to brighter yellows and oranges. Flowers will have nice form, wide petals, and a strong stem holding 3-4 blooms. Very nice!

Angel's Fantasy (Slc. Fire Fantasy x Sc. Bright Angel) is just spectacular. The FCC/AOS awarded to 'Solar Flare' says a lot about flower quality. It is also a good grower and flowers twice a year. It's an exceptional parent repeatedly proving itself. Angel Eyes (Slc. Bright Angel x Lc. Little Dipper) has also created many successful crosses. It imparts beautiful flaring, flat, full petals, good flower size, reduced plant stature, and ease of growth in its offspring. Both parents used here have large flowers in relation to their plant size and are dominant for flaring on the petals. This is a great combination.

Golden Circle (Blc. Goldenzelle x Slc. Circle of Life) is one of my most reliable breeding plants. It imparts dominance in size, shape and color, and twice a year blooming habit. What does 'OPRL' stand for, it's the abbreviation for Orange Petals Red Lip.  Magic Melody (C. Tokyo Magic x C. Melody Fair) has great color. In addition to the red lip, the petal tips have red flares. This is an unusual color combination. So what's the logic here? This cross is about soft peach and salmon-colored flowers with excellent shape, dark red lips and 3-4 well displayed flowers. And all this on a strong inflorescence that holds 5 flowers. A wise man once said, “Nothing ventured nothing gained”. Yes! These could be great.

L. alaorii 3613 is a 2” tall plant with 1” wide flower, and C. schroederae 1476 is a tall 20” plant with 4” flowers. It's what made this combination amazing. Victorian Lace (C. Moon Festival x C. walkeriana) has outstanding white flowers. The photo does show it best. What should you expect from this?  This is our first hybrid with Mem. Alberto Wenzel, we believe these will be soft pink flowers. The tubular lips will have an orange throat with a full and rounded flower shape.

Pink Doll 'Midnight' (Slc. Tangerine Jewel x L. pumila) I realized I could re-make it.  There is an interesting phenomenon of color dominance in this hybrid. When the dark purple-red color of Pink Doll combines with the yellow flowers of Toshie Aoki which are derived from the influence of C. dowiana, the flower color of the offspring is intensified. This is a unique to own your own unique personal cultivar of this grex! I'm going to set aside 12 for myself!

This walkeriana is by far the best in our collection and in my humble opinion, is among the top ten walkeriana in the world today. It has a large flower size, excellent shape, color and lip. This cross is comprised of just three species: walkeriana, loddigesii and trianae. It will have 3-5 pink flowers with wide, full-shaped petals and darker-magenta lips. These are vigorous growers and will bloom in December and January.

The flowers are well-rounded with flat petals.  Dal's Magic was bred and registered by the late David Littman of Brisbane Australia.  Several years ago I saw these flowering at an orchid show in Sydney Australia. They all had impressive round shaped flowers in dark pinks with yellow lips. Overall, very nice!  To the best of my knowledge, this grex has not been offered for sale in the USA.

Purple Doll.  The goal is 7-8” tall plants with 2-3 flowers being produced twice a year. The plants will start blooming in 3” pots and mature in 4” pots.  The flowers will be flat, with deep red-purple segments, and dark burgundy lips.

We like the accents of red flares on the petal tips, the streak of yellow on the lateral sepals, and the strong inflorescence holding 5 flowers.  Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) is one of my favorite hybrids, it has fantastic, flared flowers and a good inflorescence supporting 6 flowers. The goal here is to capitalize on the flower colors of each parent. We expect the flowers to be similar in color to Mari's Magic and be a bit larger with fuller segments too.

(Lc. Mari's Magic 'H and R' x Slc. Candy Sparks 'Fall Candy')
Lc. Mari's Magic (Mari's Song x Tokyo Magic) is one of my favorite hybrids with attractive white flowers with wide flared yellow petals, and red tips. It's an eye-catching combination.  Slc. Candy Sparks (Mem. Trudi Marsh x Angel's Fantasy) is a true mini-Catt.  Plants are just 6” tall.  The flowers are beautifully flared in red and yellow. It flowers twice a year. Candy Sparks has produced many fine mini-Catt hybrids, and it's used frequently in this year's list.  In this cross we are assessing the effect of how a compact Catt will pair with a mini-Catt. We know from previous experience plants will be 6-8” tall, flowing first in 3” pots and maturing in 4” pots, with 3-5 flowers displayed just above the foliage. The flower color outcome is harder to predict. We are expecting flares, but they will come in a range of colors. Many will be red and yellow, others yellow, pink and possibly some lavender colors.

(Lc. Mari's Magic 'H and R' x Slc. Warpaint 'SVO')
This cross is many regards like SVO 11398. Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) is particularly nice. Its inflorescence supports 5-7 bright white flowers with yellow flares and red tips. Warpaint (Slc. Fire Fantasy x Slc. Cosmic Delite) had bold red and yellow splashes on the petals. It's a mini-Catt. Expect mature plants to be 6-8” tall, flowering in 3” pots, mature in 4” pots. The flowers will be flared and range in colors, from red and yellow, yellow, pink and possibly some lavender colors. Look for the 3-5 flowers displayed just above the foliage.

(Lc. Mari's Magic 'H and R' x Slc. Angel's Fantasy 'Solar Flair' FCC/AOS)
Mari's Magic (Lc. Mari's Song x Lc. Tokyo Magic) is one of my favorite hybrids. It has fantastic, flared flowers, and a good inflorescence supporting 6 flowers. Angel's Fantasy (Slc. Fire Fantasy x Sc. Bright Angel) is just spectacular. The FCC/AOS awarded to 'Solar Flare' says everything about the flower quality, and you see it in the breeding in many of our hybrids. These will be flared flowers in colors ranging from red, yellow, pink and lavender! Expect 3-4 flowers on good stems from compact plants. Very interesting….. Can you believe we liked it so much, we made this cross three times this year? Same as SVO 11214 and SVO 11332.

Blc. Fantasy Love (Blc. Fordyce Fantasy 'Raspberry Delight' x Blc. Love Sound 'Dogashima' AM/AOS)
The late Frank Fordyce developed the hybrid Fordyce Fantasy (Blc. Horizon Flight x C. aurantiaca).  This is a surprisingly nice cross. It produces robust plants bearing flowers with orange sepals and yellow petals sporting red picotees and flares. Love Sound has proven itself to be an excellent breeder. It imparts several important qualities: full, round flowers, bright yellow color, a good stem carrying 4-6 blooms, and an attractive, compact growth habit. These will have strong inflorescences that hold 5-7 flowers nicely above the foliage. Expect flared flowers with picotee in shades of yellow and lavender.  Check out how this one came out PHOTO Another nice quality is that it will bloom in April, perfect timing for orchid shows.

Slc. Dal's Choice (Sc. Lana Coryell 'Pink' x C. Horace 'Maxima' AM/AOS)
(I can't believe I don't have a better photo of C. Horace) This is another hybrid originated by the late David Litman of Australia. It was hugely successful in the Australian Orchid Council (AOC) judging system, receiving for its owners 18 awards and 2 First Class Certificates. That's proof of a lot of top-quality cultivars in Australia. I don't believe it was ever available in the USA, so we had to remake it. I don't want you miss out on flowering some of these! I am sure the American Orchid Society (AOS) judges will be as impressed too!

We were impressed as much as they must have been by the quality of its offspring. Durban Rose has excellent flower shape and full broad lips. We are expecting Virginia Dickey (Slc. Pink Doll x Sl. Pole-Star) to reduce plant size of the offspring, allow the fine shape to come through, and keep the coral-red color of the flowers. The mature plants will be 6-7” tall and start flowering in 3” pots.
