L. purpurata
(L. purpurata f. sanguinea 'RC' x L. purpurata 'Hot Night' AM/AOS)
Outstanding flower size, color, and shape in both of these cultivars. These are our best f. sanguinea, and I can’t imagine a better pairing. We always strive to use the best possible genetic material, and it has taken us years to get to the point where we can make what we believe is a top quality combination. Not to be missed!

C. lueddemanniana
(C. lueddemanniana 'Arthur Chadwick' AM/AOSx C. lueddemanniana f. rubra 'Bravo Orchids')
This is a great opportunity to own a truly spectacular lueddie! ‘Arthur Chadwhick’ has stood the test of time, proving it is a hearty, strong growing plant with excellent flower quality. ‘Bravo Orchids’ has incredible dark purple flowers with impressive petal width. We believe this cross is going to produce excellent progeny showing vigorous growth and large shapely flowers in a range of dark colors. Plus, we treated (t) the protocorms with oryzalin to induce the conversion into tetraploids. Not all will convert, but the ones that do will be phenomenal. The converted will be phenomenal. If you are a species collector this is a “Must Have”

C. walkeriana
(C. walkeriana 'Dayane Wenzel' HCC/AOS x self)
‘Dayane Wenzel’ has been a reliable grower and bloomer, bearing rose-purple flowers with the sepals and petals veined in slightly darker rose-purple. With this selfing we are hoping to see some flowers with intensified darker veins.

SVO 10450t
(L. purpurata f. sanguinea flamea 'Brazilian Nights' x L. purpurata 'Hot Night' AM/AOS)
We have waited a long time to be able to make this cross, which showcases our favorite color form of this wonderful species. Over the years we have bought and flowered many plants, evaluating them for shape, color, and vigor. The two we settled on for this cross show all the characteristics of superior genetics, and their offspring will too. On top of that, we treated (t) the protocorms with oryzalin to induce higher ploidy. The plants that convert will be very valuable.

Treated (t) with oryzalin, to induce higher ploidy. Plants that convert will be very desirable and valuable.

B. appendiculata
(B. appendiculata '4' x self)

L. tenebrosa
(L. tenebrosa 'SVO Beauty' x L. tenebrosa 'SVO Vinicolor')
There is nothing like the sight of a well flowered tenebrosa. ‘SVO Beauty’ is an excellent grower and has large flowers with wide segments. ‘SVO Vinicolor’ has a dark flower color rarely seen in this species, and the lip has truly the darkest color imaginable for this species. We can’t wait to see how ‘SVO Vinicolor’ will influence the offspring. Treated (t) with oryzalin, to help induce higher ploidy. The converted ones will be very desirable and valuable.

SVO 10754 ON SALE
C. walkeriana
(C. walkeriana 'SVO Whopper' AM/AOS x C. walkeriana 'Suprema')
‘SVO Whopper’ is an outstanding example of the species, with large flowers and good shape. It’s also a prolific grower and bloomer. Here we have paired it with ‘Suprema’, a new acquisition from Brazil. We believe this is the best walkeriana we have seen. The flower shape is literally “off the charts” with the largest, widest, fullest petals. We are expecting some exceptional plants from this breeding. If you are collecting, you really need at least one of these.
