Spring
Even though it is the middle of winter, I feel spring on the horizon. We have had the sunniest winter ever and the plants show it. We are seeing the next round of Phalaenopsis in bloom. The harlequin style Phalaenopsis have become more beautiful every year and we are excited to see Chian Xen Super Idol, Black Valentine and I-Hsin Mirage open up in the next several weeks. Another one to keep your eye on is I-Hsin Picture. It is one of the nicest red flowers we have seen, with good flower count on its first bloom.

Updated Phalaenopsis Page
The Phalaenopsis section of the website is updated with photos of the new plant offerings. Beautiful harlequins, artshades, multiflorals, candystripes and the classic white. Enjoy!

Great New Paphs and Species
Our Paphiopedilum breeding program saw great results. We were pleased with the flower color and size, spike height and vigor of our Maudiaes and Complex Ladyslippers. Our Norito Hasegawa cross is spiking now and the plants and flowers are beautiful. Several of our species ladyslippers bloomed this year including spicerianum, gratrixianum, wardii, urbanianum, and venustum all with great form and good color.

In addition to the Paphs, we have a selection of Laelia and Cattleya species and hybrids. Laelia alaorii has been super popular. The flowers are large relative to the small size of the plants – perfect for the window sill grower. Our Slc. Circle of Life cross with Blc. Chia Lin has produced beautiful sunset to red colored flowers named Rlc. Memoria Frank Fordyce after the father of the Circle of Life breeding line.
