Cal-Orchid

C. skinneri ‘Waldor’ AM/AOS Not the largest or the fullest variety by today’s standards, but this is one of our favorites for it’s easy growing habit and it’s unusual light color. We got this great plant from our friend Dave Off back in the day when we could share a booth at Redland.

Rhyncholaelia Aristocrat and digbyana A truly beautiful species and it’s hybrid with Rhyncholaelia glauca. Even the plants are beautiful with their heavy glaucous blue leaves. Both have a wonderful sweet fragrance at night. Aristocrat is one of our favorite Cattleyas

Small first bloom seedling of one of our semi-alba crosses. We like the striking color combination of semi-alba Cattleyas more than any other type. The parents are Pot. Satomi X Pot. Jump for Joy. Our genetics are influenced a great deal by Suwada Orchids of Japan, perhaps the best breeders of Cattleyas today.

Pot. Long Run ‘Strong Lady’ BM/JOGA One of our favorite new Cattleyas. This variety is from Suwada Orchids of Japan and exhibits the value of Pot. Tokyo Bay as a parent.

Lc. Pure Soul ‘Yutaka Morimoto’ HCC/AOS A really great Cattleya for us that always blooms for the Holidays. It is an older hybrid of C. Dubiosa X Lc. Stephen Oliver Fouraker made be the famous Dogashima Ochids of Japan in 1994. It was awarded to our good friend Fred Missbach in Atlanta.
