At various times during the year, this will also include plants of Phal. bellina, Phal. violacea and hybrids with their breeding background. These will be available on a First Come-First Serve basis – all will be One-of-a-Kind plants, not mericlones. We’ve also expanded our collection of miniature Chinese Cymbidiums, miniature Vandaceous and miniature Dendrobiums – all of which grow & flower happily with our Phals. These are now listed these in their own sections. Most plants are in 2.7” pots as first or second bloomers unless otherwise noted as being fully mature in 4” pots Stock quantities of 6 or fewer are noted under size in parens ( ) ORDERING INFORMATION FOR OUR MAIL ORDER CLIENTS: In the winter or during inclement weather, shipments may be delayed pending more moderate weather conditions.

SIZE DEFINITIONS: F = Currently in flower (single spike unless otherwise noted) B = In bud (single spike unless otherwise noted) SP = In spike, just initiating to medium spike stage (no buds showing yet) BS = Blooming size (should flower in season) NBS = Near blooming size (approximately 1-2 years to flowering) S = about 2-3 years to flowering PHAL SPECIES: Most of these Phalaenopsis species are from Taiwan & were sibbed or selfed using select parents PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. bellina BS $ 48 (Sib Cross of FRAGRANT Species) This sib cross of everyone’s favorite Phal. species comes from a nursery in Taiwan known for its amazing species breeding ! They have chosen two select forms of Phal. bellina to create a much improved generation of this fragrant species. Color will be more intense and form will be much rounder ~ all on compact spikes with beautifully compact wavy leaves ! FRAGRANT ! (2) PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE BS $ 75 ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! JIAHO NURSERIES, TAIWAN Phal. bellina fma. alba (Sib Cross of FRAGRANT Species) (2) These are the pure alba forms of Phal. bellina, bearing waxy white fragrant flowers with a hint of green around their segments ! A true Phal. collector’s plant and rarely available in this color form. FRAGRANT ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! JIAHO NURSERIES, TAIWAN Phal. cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae (the true chattaladae !) (Rare color form of Species – Sib cross from Dr. David Grove made from the original species) This is the genuine chattaladae form of Phal. cornu-cervi from David Grove, owner of the only known plant of this variety. NOTE: There are other red forms of Phal. cornu-cervi being offered – but they are actually fma. rubescens or a cross between fma. rubescens and possibly fma. chattaladae….all showing a hint of yellow in their lateral sepals and most with a yellow back to the flowers. Fma. chattaladae has a totally solid red back to its flowers with no hint of yellow anywhere except the very tips of the lateral sepals & it retains its solid red color, even on the fading flowers, whereas fma. rubescens will begin to show yellow as the flowers fade. BS (2) $ 95 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION Phal. deliciosa subsp. hookeriana (RARE Color form of Species) SIZE PRICE BS $ 38 (1) Mounted Charming rare color form of this microminiature Phalaenopsis species ! Multitudes of small yellow flowers are produced in abundance on compact branching spikes, often pendulous, over equally compact leaves. The perfect little species, easily tucked into any collection ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! FROM JIA HO NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. hieroglyphica fma. alba BS $ 48 (3) (RARE Color Form of Species: ‘Golden Promise’ AM/AOS x self) The rare alba form of Phal. hieroglyphica which we find much more charming than the common white & burgundy form. For an alba form these have been extremely vigorous growers & a few from this group have flowered already. Always leave the previously flowered spike on the plant since they do tend to add additional buds while making a new spike or two. ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! Phal. javanica (Species) Not often available, this strain is the result of a sibbing of two select forms. Very compact pendulous spikes produce small flowers cascading over or between compact round leaves. Again, we’ve found this species does better in our greenhouses when grown a little cooler & shadier. MINIATURE SPECIES ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! BS (3) $ 45 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION Phal. lindenii SIZE PRICE BS $ 48 Mounted (Species) The result of sibbing two select clones of this rarely available species, its beautifully mottled leaves provide a backdrop for gracefully cascading spikes of small white or peppermint-striped flowers, beautifully accented with pink striping & a bright pink flush in the lip. Grow cooler & shadier. (1) ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! Phal. maculata (VERY RARE Species) BS $ 65 (1) Similar in its bold marks to Phal. mariae, but producing slightly flatter flowers with crisp & dramatic deep red barring on a pure white waxy flower – all on a very compact flower spike. An easy-growing Phal. species which is always difficult to find. Will re-flower from old spikes in addition to producing new. ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! Phal. mariae BS $ 45 (Rarely Available Species) This species has all but disappeared in cultivation. Unfortunately, many plants found their way into this country mislabeled as Phal. mariae when they were actually Phal. bastianii. Phal. mariae is easily recognized by its gently cascading flower spikes, a slightly more cupped flower and bold blotching on its creamy-white background. We’ve already flowered a few from this population last July & it is the TRUE Phal. mariae. Will re-flower from old spikes in addition to producing new. (3) FRAGRANT ! ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! MULTIFLORAL MINIATURES & COMPACT-GROWING BRIGHTLY COLORED NOVELTIES: Again, most of these clones are the result of the excellent Taiwanese breeding programs. Many of the plants below were hand-picked from select nurseries over the last several years on our annual trips to Taiwan. PLEASE NOTE: With many of the harlequins & the red or orange novelties, differences in light & temperature at various times of the year will cause some variation to occur in the flower color and/or intensity of their markings. Under warmer temperatures & more shaded conditions in the summer, many red hybrids with yellow or orange in their breeding background will flower showing more of those colors. Under cooler temperatures & brighter light in the fall to winter months, the red pigment in the flowers is more strongly expressed resulting in solid red flowers. PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. (Acker’s Sweetie x amabilis) ’Sweetheart’ SP/B $ 28 (2) We saw this multi-floral mini at last year’s Taiwan Show and simply had to add them to our stock ! The pod parent, Acker’s Sweetie, is a delightfully spotted beautifully round flower, but we found the spike and plant habit just too large. However, by crossing it to Phal. amabilis, the plant and flower size has been reduced to a more compact display and footprint – very much like having a miniature form of the great Phal. Acker’s Sweetie. The best of both worlds ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI Phal. (Brother Sara Gold x Haur Jin Diamond) ‘OX1608’ An exciting new direction in breeding, this hybrid carries the bright yellow background from both parents ! Its central splash pattern is the result of the dusted red overlay from Brother Sara Gold combined with the harlequin influence of Haur Jin Diamond to create a sunburst-type accent. Heavy substance from both parents adds to a great longlasting display. And even when all the flowers have opened, it tends to continue to add buds to the spike ! SP (1) NEW ! $ 42 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. Chian Xen Diamond ‘OX1298’ B/F $ 25 (3) (Golden Peoker x Judy Valentine) One of the best harlequins we’ve seen at the Taiwan show, this remake of Chian Xen Diamond was produced with superior parents to give stable harlequin patterning from one flower to the next! When fully mature, its good flower count is provided by the July Valentine parent, with the flowers carrying the heavier substance of Golden Peoker. Gracefully cascading spikes with the flowers in perfect presentation, neither too crowded nor too spaced along the inflorescence. A stunning display ! NEW ! FROM CHIAN XEN NURSERY, TAIWAN Dtps. Chian Xen Violin ’CX 295’ AM/AOS (Chian Xen Pearl x Yu Pin Burgundy) Awarded by our Phal. AOS Judging team at the 2013 Taiwan International Orchid Show, this multi-floral miniature wowed the judging team with its fully round bright rose pink flowers, each marked with dark raspberry-red harlequin spots ! Yu Pin Burgundy is a miniature harlequin with Chian Xen Pearl being a famous standard harlequin parent. These plants are vigorous growers, having produced branching spikes in just 2.7” pots – and were still in full flower four months later ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FROM CHIAN XEN NURSERY, TAIWAN BS (1) NEW ! $ 42 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. Fangmei Sweet ‘Maui Sunset’ SP $ 28 (Little Gem Stripes x Dou-Dii Golden Princess) Another great clone of this amazing sunset-tone multi-floral mini ! Color intensities on both clones will vary according to light & temperature at the time of spiking – brighter light & cooler temperatures produce the most vivid color. Since these flower twice a year, its intense colors will be most vivid during a late fall to winter flowering. (2) BS $ 20 (1) MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FROM OX NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. Fangmei Sweet ‘OX 1536’ AM/AOS SP (Little Gem Stripes x Dou-Dii Golden Princess) BS A really unique clone of this candystriped multi-floral miniature – just awarded at the Taiwan International Orchid Show bearing 44 brilliantly colored flowers on two branched inflorescences ! Although the sepals bear red candy-stripes over the yellow background, the petals are almost solid red-orange – with all segments showing a beautiful narrow yellow picotee – and the lateral sepals show distinct red striping over the yellow background creating a dramatic contrast with the petals. Longlasting heavy substance flowers on very compact spikes which tend to continue to produce buds, even after all the flowers are open. Definitely an arresting presentation ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FROM OX NURSERY, TAIWAN $ 28 (5) (3) NEW ! $ 20 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION Phal. Fuller’s Gold Stripe ’A09168’ Producing flowers slightly larger in size (2 ½”) than the clone ‘OX1560’, its color is more intense due to a heavier overlay of the red candy striping, giving the appearance of orange ! These are vigorously growing & spiking plants as first bloomers with nice compact leaf spans. A definite step up from the older hybrid of Baldan’s Kaleidoscope with its large flowers & huge leaf span ! SIZE PRICE SP/B $ 33 2 spikes (2) First bloomers MULTI-FLORAL MIDI ! FROM TAIDA NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. Fuller’s Gold Stripe ’OX1560’ BS $ 20 (3) An especially charming clone of this multi-floral miniature ! Unlike the other commonly available clones of this same hybrid, this particular clone produces extremely round well-balanced flowers on very compact branching spikes – its striping and red lip are also much more vivid and well-defined than its siblings – its presentation beautifully set off by a central white flush and its flower size takes after the multi-mini parent. These heavy substance flowers lead us to wonder if they’re 4N – and its heavier substance means a long-lasting display. If we could only grow one clone of Fuller’s Gold Stripes, this would be it ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FROM OX NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. (Leopard Prince x I-Hsin Golden Sun) ‘AAM3008C’ Rich golden yellow flowers with amazingly round form are literally peppered with harlequin-influenced spots ! Its Golden Peoker background has taken the bold striping/strippled pattern from Leopard Prince, the pod parent, and intensified it with the harlequin influence, providing heavier substance longerlasting flowers. Will branch readily when fully mature & is quite an eye-catcher ! B/F (6) NEW ! $ 28 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. Lianher Happy Dancer ’A10658’ B/F $ 48 (Mem. Francis Hunte x Ming-Hsing Cinderella) A great new direction in pink harlequin breeding ! Its white background is heavily flushed with pink, leaving just a small white central halo. The harlequin influence is expressed on the outer third of all the segments in a stable pattern from one flower to the next. Tall elegant spikes in a naturally cascading arrangement. A real show stopper ! (2) Heavily branched spikes BS $ 38 (1) 4” POT NEW ! Phalaenopsis Lioulin Barbie ’A07033’ (Sogo Yenlin x Ching Ann Diamond) From the same seed pod as ‘A07401’, ‘A07033’ produces richly glowing & velvety dark pink flowers ! Both clones exhibit compact growth with equally compact branching spikes. That, added to their tendency to bloom more than once a year when fully mature, makes them a great addition to any collection ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! B/F 2-3 branching spikes (2) NEW ! $ 38 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phalaenopsis Lioulin Barbie ’A07401’ SP $ 28 (Sogo Yenlin x Ching Ann Diamond) (1) NEW ! This is one of the very best for a dark pink multi-floral miniature ! Velvety rich dark pink flowers are produced on compact branching spikes over equally compact leaf spans. And for a pink mini, its flowers last much longer than most for this type of breeding – we exhibited one plant in four different shows over two months and all the flowers & buds held despite the extreme stress shows can do to a plant ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! Phal. Lioulin Moon ’OX1533’ FCC/AOS (Phal. Tai-I Yellow Bird x Sogo Rosa) This particular clone of Lioulin Moon knocked everyone out with its color & floriferousness at the Taiwan Show ! Heavy substance brilliant yellow flowers of great full form are accented centrally with just a kiss of harlequin. And when fully mature, it can produce quite a show with multiple branching spikes. Of all the yellow harlequins we’ve seen, this one is still our number one favorite ! SP $ 42 (1) BS (2) $ 35 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION Dtps. Lioulin Sparrow ’Taida Little Panda’ (Phal. Tai-I Yellow Bird x Sogo Rosa) A multi-floral miniature version of the larger flowered waxy yellow harlequins – this little hybrid’s dark harlequin spotting is created by one layer of black-burgundy over another, all against a soft yellow background, its harlequin blotch almost totally covering each flower. This particular clone is super compact versus other clones of this hybrid, the spikes reaching no taller than 6-8” from the rim of the pot & vigorously branching. Very heavy waxy substance, extremely compact spikes and leaves, and a prolific brancher ! SIZE PRICE B/F $ 33 1 heavily branched spike ! (4) B/F $ 38 2 branched spikes ! (1) MULTI-MINI HARLEQUIN ! Phal. Liu’s Berry ‘PS3331’ B/F (Eduardo Quisumbing x parishii) 2 spikes (4) Carrying the charmingly broad lips and flower size of the more difficult to grow species, Phal. parishii, this easy-to-grow hybrid has it all ! This clone of Liu’s Berry has a stronger suffusion of its soft pink dusting covering all its segments than the clone ‘Orchid House S.W.’. With a great compact leaf span & equally compact gently cascading spikes, this little gem fits easily into any collection. MICRO MINI ! FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN $ 28 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. Liu’s Sakura ‘KF’ BS $ 65 (pulcherrima alba fma. champornensis x Otohime) (3) First bloomers A very special multi-floral mini that we saw at Liu’s Nursery in 2013 ~ and which we’ve been anxiously awaiting since then ! These are poly-props, not mericlones, produced this way so that the results would be true to the parent plant ~ which also means a very limited supply. Beautiful white flowers with a soft kiss of pink around its segments & charming lightly ruffled semi-peloric petals. The spike habit takes after the Phal. pulcherrima parent, being upright, but is much more compact than pulcherrima in height and the flower size is intermediate between pulcherrima & Otohime. Unique & very different from any Phal. available today ! NEW ! STEM PROPS MULTI-FLORAL MINI FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. Meidarland Sunlight BS (Golden Sun x Ld’s Bear King ‘Red King’) This newly named hybrid has been sensational to say the least ! All have flowered red, most being a true fire engine red rather than a blue-red ~ and as very young first bloom seedlings, they’ll only improve in size & form with each succeeding flowering. Prices for select plants from this cross start at $150, with each individually priced according to flower quality. See our Facebook page for photos of some that have already flowered for us: www.facebook.com/orchidphile WAXY FRAGRANT NOVELTY ONE-OF-A-KIND SEEDLINGS ! (photos available on request of select clones) Select clones start at $ 250 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal. Nobby’s Amy ‘FS5-11’ B/F $ 25 (Be Glad alba x Rothschildiana) (5) Created by a mating of the alba forms of both parents, the result has been beautifully round flowers, pristine white with a bright yellow lip ! Due to its multifloral background, this clone readily branches on tall spikes and has been an amazingly easy grower. Amazingly long lasting flowers for a white multi-floral mini. As first bloomers, they have already flowered with two spikes & even with all its flowers open, it’s still producing more buds on each spike. One of the best miniature whites we’ve ever seen ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! Dtps. OX Firebird ‘OX1277’ SP (1) (OX Black Jack x Walnut Valley Halo) NEW ! One of the most dramatic of the newest generation of Harlequin breeding !

Beautifully finished with a bold ruby-red lip, this clone from OX Nurseries took on the best of both parents producing a flower totally different from the rest of this hybrid’s progeny. A must for the newest in yellow harlequin breeding ! FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN SP/B (4) BS (5) NEW ! $ 38 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Phal.

We saw and awarded this particular clone at the 2013 Taiwan International Orchid Show, bearing 24 flowers of 8.8cm on two gracefully arching inflorescences. A great result of mixing parents with heavy yellow heritage, harlequin background and French spots, its color has resulted from a fusing of all its background parentage into one solid stunning color, its segements perfectly outlined with a narrow yellow picotee ! (3) First bloomers NEW ! FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN Phal. OX Golden Sands ’OX1597’ SP/B (3) 2 spikes !

Another select clone of this great new harlequin multi-floral mini ! The flowers on this clone are a bit smaller, at 2 ½”, on these first bloom seedlings – and will most likely not be much larger once the plants are fully mature. The harlequin spotting pattern is actually a bold deep burgundy and is quite a dramatic contrast against the pink and white background of the flower. In just 2.7” pots, they’ve already flowered once & just 4 months later are already spiking again. Will flower easily twice a year ! BOLD NEW MINI HARLEQUIN ! FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN BS (4) NEW ! $ 33 $ 28 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION Dtps. OX Happy Girl ‘OX 1620’ SIZE PRICE F $ 28 (1) (OX X-Ray x OX Little King) The variation in harlequin patterning on this little hybrid has been amazing – and since we couldn’t decide which one we liked better, we bought all the available clones of it !

OX Sunkist ‘OX1637’ AM/AOS SP/B $ 42 (Surf Song x Yu Pin Fireworks) (1) BS $ 33 (5) Seen & awarded at the 2013 TIOS Show in Taiwan, this clone had everything going for it – so we ordered as many as we could ! Added to the amazing sunset color from Surf Song comes the BIG LIP from Yu Pin Fireworks, making for an arresting display of a tri-petaled flower, around 3” in size. What we really liked about this particular clone was the flatness of the lip as opposed to many “big lip” clones we’ve seen that are showing a severely cupped lip…this one gives the appearance of three petals on a nice flat flower. FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN Phal. OX Yellow Lip ‘OX1648’ AM/AOS (K S Culiacan x OX Firebird) SP First bloomers BS This particular clone of Phal. OX Yellow Lip stood out in a class on its own at the Taiwan Show two years ago ! Its medium pink flowers were boldly accented with dark electric yellow lips against its central white halo & drew our judging team’s eyes from all the way across an acre-sized judging display area. Although the 4” flowers open a lighter pink, as they mature, the pink becomes even more intense in color. An amazingly unique flower for its bold color contrast ~ and well deserving of its AM/AOS ! FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN $ 38 (3) (6) $ 33 PHOTO NAME & DESCRIPTION SIZE PRICE Dtps. Ruey Lih Fairy ‘RL#1’ B/F $ 48-55 (4) (Sweet Strawberry x Sogo Vivien) A great improvement over Dtps. Sogo Vivien, producing readily branching spikes held in perfect proportion to the foliage with the more intense pink influence coming from Dtps. Sweet Strawberry.

Taida Pearl ‘Taida Pink Lady’ (Ching Hua Spring x Sogo Davis) A great soft pink harlequin-influenced hybrid, showing just the most delicate touch of harlequin accents !

Gilded Tower ’Mystic Maze’ HCC/AOS B/F $ 33 (6) (Summit x Gilded Urchin) Although we don’t normally grow or even choose to carry the more common members of the Oncidium family, we have always loved this particular plant for its exotic presentation & amazingly longlasting display of dramatic color ! The color combination is extraordinary, olive green with chocolate brown blotches. And as the perfect finishing accent, its golden lip is beautifully marked with chestnut brown. The flowers can reach 4” in size with a fully mature plant capable of producing more than 15 flowers per beautifully arching spike. Unlike many of the more common Oncidinae, this hybrid’s heavy substance flowers mean a much longer lasting display of its exotic presentation ! Bulbophyllum carunculatum (Species: ‘Magnifico’ AM/AOS x self) An easy grower under Phalaenopsis culture, this sibbing of the highly awarded clone, ‘Magnifico’, has been fabulous, producing full form flowers to match the original awarded parent. A summer bloomer, its 4” striking yellowgreen flowers with a hinged mahoganyblack lip are produced sequentially for months on erect spikes. We’ve been growing this sibbing up from seedling size for several years & have finally been rewarded with its first flower spike producing one spectacular flower after another ! DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE BS (1) $ 35 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Bulbophyllum falcatum ’Standing Tall’ AM/AOS BS $ 25 (2) (MICRO-MINIATURE Species) Although we don’t grow many Bulbophyllums, we’ve always found this one to be an easy-grower which remains small and loves hanging out with the Phals! Adorable little flowers are produced each spring on flattened inflorescences. Can become a miniature specimen quickly ! DIVISIONS FROM OUR AWARDED MOTHER PLANT Bulb. falcatum fma. flaviforum BS (2) (MINIATURE Species) Another color form of this adorable – and floriferous – Bulbophyllum ! An easygrower, even under lower light Phalaenopsis conditions, this plant seems to grow like a weed, producing early-late spring spikes of microminiature flowers on long cascading flattened inflorescences, with this particular color form producing flowers with more yellow than is typical for the common form. Perfect for windowsill or under-lights growing. MICRO-MINIATURE ! $ 35 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Bulb. falcatum fma. velutina ’Gold Country’ CCE/AOS BS $ 35 (4) (RARE COLOR FORM of MINIATURE Species) Endemic to Ghana & the Ivory Coast, this hot to warm growing species is the more rare RED color form of an easy-growing species ! Producing a slightly longer inflorescence than other forms of this species, its many yellow-based flowers are heavily suffused with red-purple spots, flowering successively along an 11” inflorescence. Best grown under shady Phalaenopsis conditions, we’ve found this as easy a grower as other forms of Bulb. falcatum with the added punch of its red color. Can quickly grow to specimen size ! MICRO-MINIATURE ! Cattleya (Slc.) Fire Magic ’Solar Flare’ AM/AOS (Tokyo Magic x Fire Fantasy) A sensational clone resulting from two amazing splash petal parents ! This clone, ‘Solar Flare’ AM/AOS, has such suffusion of its flaring as to almost totally cover the petals with its rich red splash influence. A great compact grower, easily grown & flowered under Phalaenopsis conditions ! DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE MINIATURE ! BS (1) $ 38 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Cattleya (Slc.) Love Fresh ’orchidPhile’ BS $ 75 (1) (Beaufort x briegeri) This particular select clone, ‘orchidPhile’, we flowered from a seedling population of Love Fresh & has never been shown for AOS judging ! The only difference between it & our awarded clone, ‘Rheagan’ AM/AOS, is its tendency to have its petals lightly tipped with a touch of red depending on light & temperature during bud formation. Both clones have that same heavily infused red to their lips & both have excellent form. A fully mature flowering can produce in excess of 5 flowers per inflorescence. Puts on quite a bright show on a very compact grower which is easily grown & flowered under Phalaenopsis conditions ! DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE MINIATURE ! Cattleya Menehune Princess ’Tara’ (Fire Fantasy x Little Dipper) One of two select clones we loved from this seedling population of miniature cattleyas ! This particular clone has beautifully full flowers with charmingly ruffled petals & lip…soft lavender-pink sepals create the perfect backdrop for its pure white petals & lip, each flared with lavender splashes. These tend to flower more than once a year, having already flowered in January & then flowered again just seven months later ! DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE MINIATURE ! BS (1) $ 45 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Cochleanthes amazonica BS/F $ 33-38 (Syn. Warczewiczella amazonica) (Species: ‘HOF’ x ‘CO12-1’) A sensational sibbing of two select clones of this species for improved form, heavier substance & much bolder welldefined lip accents ! We’ve seen a much improved result from this next generation with stronger growing plants producing multiple spikes from each fully mature growth. They can continue to produce additional spikes on these growths in addition to producing & flowering from new. All of those that have flowered for us to date have had dark well-defined striping covering a good portion of their lips ~ a vast improvement over prior sibbings of this species, in large part due to the infusion of select parents from Taiwan’s exceptional species breeding programs ! (6) Priced according to number of growths FRAGRANT SPECIES ! Ctmds. Black Magic ‘Bordeaux’ (sinuata x Orchidglade) BS $ 48 (6) This newest “black” Catamodes is the result of the species Catasetum pileatum and expansum mated to Mormodes sinuata, giving Black Magic its rich dark color and amazing fragrance ! The Mormodes parent added to its flower count with the Catasetum influence creating larger flowers, up to 3” in size. Heavy texture with great fragrance, longlasting flowers and a free–bloomer. Award Quality ! FRAGRANT ! Dimerandra stenopetala (Species) Endemic to Central & South America, this miniature species is a warm to intermediate grower, flowering from fall through spring ! Its compact 1” inflorescence carries successively opening vivid pink flowers over several months. Easily grown & flowered under Phalaenopsis conditions ~ very cute & compact enough to fit anywhere ! MINIATURE SPECIES ! BS (6) $ 18 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Fredclarkeara After Dark ’SVO Black Pearl’ FCC/AOS BS $ 65 (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise) Easily grown & flowered under Phal conditions, this particular highly awarded clone of After Dark is so dark it’s almost BLACK ! Produces cascading spikes of multitudes of waxy long-lasting flowers in late winter, beginning its new pseudobulb growth in early spring. Much easier to grow than either of its parents with no need to withhold water during its leafless stage since the pseudobulbs are still growing & photosynthesizing for future growths. In addition, the arrangement of the flowers is perfection as opposed to similar “black” hybrids where the flowers simply don’t open well and arrange themselves on the spike properly. (1) NEW ! Robust multigrowth plant already producing its next growth ! Two important Plus Factors to this hybrid: it’s a vigorous grower ~ and it doesn’t shoot its pollen when jarred or moved. We showed our exhibit plant of this clone in three different shows last winter with no loss of pollen despite all the trips to and from ! Guarisophleya (Slc.) Doris and Byron ’Christmas Rose’ HCC/AOS SP/B (4) NEW ! (Slc. Love Castle x C. Candy Tuft) Probably the best miniature Cattleya in the world today ! Delightfully fragrant and compact, it will grow happily under lower light Phalaenopsis conditions. This exquisite hybrid has multiple species in its immediate breeding background: C. loddigesii, C. aurantiaca, C. harrisoniana, C. trianae, C. labiata, C. coccinea and C. cinnabarina. Its heavy substance fullform pink flowers can be produced twice a year on a fully mature plant, the flowers lasting for months. During the cooler winter months with lower light, the flowers first open as soft pink, later maturing to a vivid pink (as seen in the photos) under bright light and warmer growing conditions. An amazingly vigorous grower. A deserving winner of the Best Mini Catt and a blue ribbon at a recent Taiwan International Orchid Society Show. FRAGRANT MINI ! Robust multigrowth plants $ 45 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Paph. Angela ‘orchidPhile’ HCC/AOS BS $ 95 BS $ 65 BS $ 55 (fairrieanum x niveum) Our most favorite Paph. in this line of breeding ! This particular clone is beautifully shaped, carrying the elegant form of Paph. fairrieanum. Nicely accented with crisp raspberry red striping and raspberry red pouch. This is just our second division from the mother plant to be released ! MINIATURE ! DIVISION FROM OUR AWARDED PLANT Paph. Armeni White ‘Beau’ (armeniacum x delenatii) We selected this particular clone from a population of seedlings that we flowered for its beautiful full-form round petals & bright golden yellow staminode ! It simply stood out from the rest. MINIATURE ! FIRST-RELEASE DIVISION FROM OUR SELECT CLONE Paph. Misty Dell ‘Tara’ (Magic Lantern x delenatii) This particular clone, ‘Tara’, exhibits nice round flat petals with an equally flat dorsal sepal, quite unlike the majority we flowered from this population !

FIRST-RELEASE DIVISION FROM OUR SELECT CLONE PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Phrag. Hanne Popow SP/B $ 35 (1) (schlimii x besseae) One of the most adorable of miniature Phrag hybrids & a particular favorite of ours, this population of Hanne Popow has proven to be a vigorous grower ! We love its smaller growth habit & perky little flowers, some of which have flowered in two-tones with others bearing a small central blush. An easy grower, it thrives right alongside our Phals ! MINIATURE ! Phrag. pearcei (Miniature Species) One of the most charming of miniature Phrag. species producing striking greenstriped flowers on compact plants ! Further adding to its charm are its delightfully twisted burgundy striped petals and a well-marked green and mahogany spotted pouch interior. An easy grower which loves to be kept moist, this Phrag. species takes up no room at all & belongs in every collection ! MINIATURE ! BS $ 35 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Polystachya paniculata BS $ 22 (Species) (1) Endemic to African rainforests, this compact grower literally explodes with hundreds of small ¼” brilliant orangeyellow flowers on 8” vigorously branching spikes ! We had it flower in the spring, summer and often again in the fall. Easily grown and flowered under Phalaenopsis light conditions, it is temperature tolerant and will grow equally as well under intermediate temperatures. Prefers a fine fir bark mix or New Zealand moss for its fine root system and being only slightly drier in the winter months. For an outrageous and brilliant display, this is definitely one of the easiest & most rewarding orchids to grow and flower ! NEW ! Pot. Lovely Fantasy ‘orchidPhile’ BS (Love Sound x Fire Fantasy) NEW ! A first division of our select clone of Pot. Lovely Fantasy ! Brilliant non-fading yellow flowers with the red splash on the tips of the petals mimicking the red accent on its broad lip.

Strong growers on compact plants, capable of producing up to 4 flowers per inflorescence. These are divisions from a first-run mericlone population of this hybrid so we’re sure that our divisions will flower true to the parent. MINIATURE DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE Pot. Sakura Candy ‘Hello Kitty’ (C. Starry Sky x Ctt. Candy Tuft) Teacup size Cattleya from Japan ! Capable of carrying up to six flowers per inflorescence on a fully mature plant, they can literally dwarf this miniature growing plant. Heavy substance large flowers can be produced both spring and fall. Award Quality ! SP/B $ 38 (4) NEW ! MICRO-MINIATURE FRAGRANT ! Pot. Young-Min Orange ’Golden Satisfaction’ AM/AOS (Viola Nuggett x Lc. Trick or Treat) This spectacular clone of Pot. Young-Min Orange knocked all the AOS judges out with its amazingly floriferous display at the Taiwan International Orchid Show in 2010 & again this year. It was awarded in 2010 with over 150 flowers and buds borne on 20 inflorescences, a display of vivid fiery orange, capable of producing 7+ flowers per spike when fully mature. This year, when exhibited again in Taiwan at the show, it had virtually doubled in size ! These vigorous plants can flower twice a year with long-lasting lightly FRAGRANT flowers, their orange intensifying as the flower matures. Grows & flowers happily under Phalaenopsis conditions ! MINI-COMPACT GROWER ! MULTIPLE GROWTH PLANT SP/B (5) $ 45 PHOTO NAME & NOTES SIZE PRICE Psychopsis papilio fma. alba BS $ 35 (RARE COLOR FORM of Species) (1) The more rare pure yellow color form of this popular “butterfly” orchid producing elegantly tall spikes over extremely compact upright pseudobulbs & leaves, each spike which can continue to produce flowers – one at a time – for five or more years. Very often we have found these spikes will branch, adding even more charm to its display. We have exhibited some of our fully mature plants of this species carrying upwards of 25 flowering spikes emerging from over 25 pseudobulbs, the plant itself still growing in 3 ½” - 4” pots ! Sc. (C.) Crystelle Smith ‘Rheagan’ BS $ 42 (Only 3 divisions available) (Beaufort x loddigesii) Beautiful golden-salmon flowers are produced on very compact plants ! Capable of producing up to three 2 ½” plus flowers per inflorescence, this is an easy grower flowering readily under Phalaenopsis conditions. Unfortunately, this hybrid has not been remade so divisions & mericlones are the only forms of it currently available. One of our alltime favorites for its wonderfully compact growth & adorable uniquely colored flowers ! MINIATURE ! DIVISIONS FROM SELECT CLONE Slc. Sierra Gem ‘Coco’ (Hazel Boyd x Pole-Star) Bright golden yellow flowers are produced on miniature growth plants ! A great little mini that can flower more than once a year. MINIATURE !

Sierra Perfection ’orchidPhile’ BS $ 65 (1) (Sierra Doll x Carol Lynn) Bright rich pink flowers with really good substance emerge from extremely compact plants ! The bulk of its breeding background is C. walkeriana & C. coccinea with just a touch of C. pumila, all leading to its small footprint. Heavy substance long-lasting flowers ! (Picture is of the actual clone ‘orchidPhile’) FRAGRANT MINIATURE ! DIVISION FROM SELECT CLONE Zygo. Advance Australia ’HOF’ AM/AOS (Titanic x Helen-Ku) We received an AM/AOS on this clone a couple of years ago & still feel it’s the best FRAGRANT Zygo around – a very easy and extremely compact grower, quite unlike most Zygopetalums available today which tend to really spread out & take over your growing space ! The waxy green sepals & petals are almost totally covered with chocolate brown blotches, and its broad lip is heavily overlaid with vivid purple right out to the narrow white picotee, a vast improvement over other Zygopetalum hybrids. These are first bloomers & will produce 3-4 flowers on their first spikes. As the plant matures, expect to see up to two spikes per each new growth and flowering more than once a year ~ multiple newly emerging growths only add to its delightfully fragrant bouquet ! A vigorous grower for this kind of breeding, it thrives when grown in New Zealand moss. Its heavy chocolate barring only varies with the light and temperature conditions (cooler & brighter versus warmer & shadier) when the spikes are forming. The absolute best of all Zygos. for its solid purple lip, rich rich color, full flat segments & great compact growth habit ! FRAGRANT ! GREAT COMPACT GROWER ! CURRENTLY OUT OF FLOWER SP/B (6) $ 38 Phal. Gan Lin Fairy ‘GL’ (Chian Xen Pearl x Mount Lip) Producing a unique harlequin pattern, this hybrid is the result of crossing a large semi-alba with a famous harlequin parent !

Producing dark & richly colored red flowers, this particular hybrid has combined the best qualities of both parents ! Leopard Prince gives it the wonderful spotting pattern around the column & lateral sepals while I-Hsin Golden Sun Bird brings in the influence of harlequin heritage & yellow breeding. The result is a whisper of deeper red striping, large flowers with heavy substance & a dark red lip. One of the largest “red” hybrids available today ! $ 22 Dtps. Lioulin Sparrow ’Taida Violet Butterfly’ BS $ 28 (2) (Tai-I Yellow Bird x Sogo Rosa) An adorable harlequin mini has already produced 2 branching spikes in just 2.7” pots ! Producing taller spikes than ‘Taida Little Panda’, it’s still a very compact grower and bloomer.

Will continue to produce buds on its previously flowered spikes in addition to creating more new spikes ! MULTI-MINI HARLEQUIN ! Phal. Liu’s Berry ‘Orchid House S.W.’ BS $ 25 (5) (Eduardo Quisumbing x parishii) Another variation on this great mini, this clone is producing flatter flowers with fuller segments !

Compact leaf span and spikes and tends to flower more than once a year ! MICRO MINI ! FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. Liu’s Fantasy ‘Tom Ann’ BS (3) (Be Glad x Timothy Christopher) Our best clone of this miniature, showing a great mix of both famous parents ! What sets this clone, ‘Tom Ann’, apart is its pure white lip with just a touch of yellow in the callus, quite different from the traditionally available clones of this little hybrid which bear yellow lips – compact grower with nice round thick leaves ~ we strongly suspect this particular clone is a tetraploid (4N). Easy to fit into any collection, this is an adorably petite & pristine white charmer ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN NEW ! $ 22 Phal. Liu’s Rainbow ‘M’ BS $ 33 (3) (Be Glad x lindenii) One of the most charming of Micro Minis, producing small white flowers with a central blush & broad lip on extremely compact spikes over an amazingly compact leaf span.

MICRO-MINIATURE FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN Phal. Liu’s Triprince ‘KF#4’ BS (3) (Eduardo Quisumbing x lobbii) Another select clone of this amazing little hybrid ! A vigorous grower, it already produced two branching spikes as a first bloomer in just a 2.7” pot. This clone differs from ‘KF’ in that its lip is more yellow in color without the light orange overlay. We just removed the spikes from these plants – as first bloomers, they were already producing 2 branching spikes. Very compact leaf span & spike height – ideal for windowsill & underlights growing as well as spacechallenged collections ! FROM LIU’S NURSERY, TAIWAN MULTI-FLORAL MINI ! NEW ! $ 38 Phal.

Its pristine white 2 ½” flowers were beautifully set off by their brilliant broad rich golden-yellow lips, making quite a show ! It was so stunning, with its boldly contrasting lip, that we have even set aside two for our show exhibits. Another one of those miniatures that will draw your eye from anywhere ! NEW ! MULTI-FLORAL MINI FROM OX NURSERIES, TAIWAN Phal. Sogo Fantasy’F-2859’ BS (3) (Sogo Lawrence x Sogo David) Golden yellow waxy flowers with heavy substance take on the vivid sunset colors of Sogo Lawrence & the multi-floral readily branching habit of Sogo David ~ a perfect mating of both parents to produce a new generation of brilliant sunset-tone multi-florals !
