C. walkeriana f. semi-alba
(C. walkeriana f. s/a 'Tokyo No. 1' AM/AOS x self)
Awarded 24 years ago for Jim and Lauris Rose of Cal Orchid, this is still considered one of the best semi-alba walkeriana. A few years back we saw a large group of its selfing being flowered by a Brazilian grower and they were all excellent. That inspired us to do the same. We selfed the original awarded plant from Cal Orchid. This is a fantastic opportunity to add some great genetics to your collection.

C. walkeriana
(C. walkeriana 'Dayane Wenzel' HCC/AOS x Self)
This fine cultivar was awarded in Brazil about 18 years ago. The flowers are rose-purple with the petals veined slightly darker. 'Dayane Wenzel' is an easy to grow plant and flowers reliably each January. Expect these to grow quickly and bloom easily. A great opportunity to add a fine species to your collection.

L. purpurata f. sanguinea (L. purpurata f. sanguinea 'Brazilian Nights' x L. purpurata f. sanguinea 'Hot Night' AM/AOS)
This is our favorite color form of this species. Over the years SVO has bought and flowered many purpurata, evaluating each of them for shape, color, and vigor. We waited a long time to be able to make this cross and we settled on these two as parents, they have all the desirable characteristics, flower color, size, shape and excellent plant vigor. On top of that, we treated (t) the protocorms with oryzalin to induce higher ploidy. Those that do convert… will be very valuable.

'Windflower' is a very fine example of the species. Its flowers are nearly perfect with rich color and dark purple lips. The petals are flat with superb flower presentation on sturdy stems. Treated (t) with oryzalin; to induce higher ploidy. Those that do convert will be very desirable, and valuable.

C. labiata
(C. labiata 'Fertigo' AM/AOS x C. labiata 'Goliath' AM/AOS)
We are happy to offer this choice labiata. We have finally gotten our two best examples of this desirable late summer blooming species together. 'Fertigo' has a very dark purple color and is a vigorous grower, breaking two leads each year. 'Goliath' has outstanding shape and huge flower size. It's the best pairing we can make. Look for top quality results.

C. walkeriana
(C. walkeriana 'SVO Passion' AM/AOS x C. walkeriana 'Suprema')
'SVO Passion' is an outstanding example of this species. Its large flowers, good shape, prolific growth habit, and easy blooming makes this one of our top walkers. 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 these, this is a must have.

C. walkeriana
(C. walkeriana 'Suprema' x self)
This C. walkeriana cultivar is quite possibly one of the finest examples of the species yet seen. We acquired it from a renowned Brazilian walkeriana breeder for a surprisingly large sum (surprising, as I have never paid or thought I would pay, as much for a plant!) It has truly outstanding flower size, shape, color and a perfect lip. The picture is worth a thousand words. Also available as SVO 11410

C. mossiae f. coerulea
(C. mossiae f. coerulea '7 Flowers' x C. mossiae f. coerulea 'Blue Moon Too')
Here we used two of our best mossiae f. coerulea cultivars. '7 flowers' is just that, 7 flowers on a stem. That is a lot of flowers for this color form of mossiae. And 'Blue Moon Too' has exceptional flower shape. As rare as a blue moon. These are top quality coerulea!

B. nodosa
(B. nodosa 'Susan Fuchs' FCC/AOS x B. nodosa 'Joyce Weaver')
Have you been looking for a top quality nodosa? If you have, this is a good place to start. The FCC/AOS award to the cultivar 'Susan Fuchs' indicates a lot about its fine flower qualities. What about 'Joyce Weaver'? I won it at an auction in Florida. The flowers were outstanding. Some of the best I have seen. At the start of the auction, I quickly bid $100 thinking this was a good move. Then someone bid $200! Ouch! I ended up paying $350 for 'Joyce Weaver'. This is a great pairing. These will be excellent nodosa.

C. labiata f. rubra (C. labiata f. rubra 'Fertigo' AM/AOS, SM/JOGA x C. labiata f. rubra 'Claire' AM/AOS)
These two cultivars of labiata are our best f. rubra varieties. They have dark purple flowers. 'Fertigo' even has a Silver Medal (SM) from the Japan Orchid Growers Association (JOGA). On top of the prestigious award, these protocorms have been treated (t) with oryzalin, to assist is the conversion of some plants into tetraploids. The converted plants will be very collectable.
