2010 Division Listing

Fellow Paph Lovers:

The following plants are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Most are very limited as to the number of divisions of any one cultivar. Prices listed are per division, not per growth. A standard division will have at least one mature bloomed or un-bloomed growth and may have a new start or maturing new growth.  I will make price adjustments accordingly, downward on faded or very small growths or upward on multi-growth plants. All divisions will have vigorous healthy roots. Exact division size and price can be discussed with me by telephone and you may then decide about purchasing or reserving a piece. I will be glad to place your name on a waiting list for divisions not currently available. Prices are subject to change without prior notice, and are subject to availability. There are no discounts on divisions. If you are not 100% satisfied when you receive your order, please notify us within 48 hours. You may arrange to return any plants for a complete refund of the purchase price. Above all, I want you to be pleased with the plants that you receive! If you do not see a division listed, please call and inquire.  I am always happy to check on availability. Thank you for your interest in Marriott Orchids and I look forward to having you as a customer.

Sincerely, 

Pinks and Whites

Dottie McDowell 'Snowdrift' (Freckles x Green Mystery)- $175
The genetic in this parent are great for breeding (Freckles x Green Mystery), and this should give larger size, fuller form, and less stippling than straight Freckles. An added bonus is it's simple intrinsic beauty.

Via Angel Verde 'White Cap' (Avine x Yerba Buena)- $65
Another Yerba Buena hybrid with green petals and large white dorsal. Avine, the other parent, is a proven breeder as well... should be excellent when crossed to whites.

Via Avila Beach 'Evening Moon' HCC/AOS (Hellas x Avine)- $175
Similar in color and form to Golden Chalice both of which are Hellas hybrids. It has a huge paper white dorsal with a rose pink fan at the base The petals are ice green with a pink overlay. Very large flowers and a super breeder!

Another clone from the Carl and Emogene Keys collection, 'Carimo' has an intense citron and buttercup yellow tones with chocolate brown mid-vein down the center of the dorsal and petals. A flower so striking that it was awarded an 82 point AM in April 1998.

'Full Moon' is the best of the Via Muchos Ninos, with incredible full form in all segments on a tall, strong stem.

Via Vulcan Verde 'Petticoat' S/CSA (Avine x Wallur)- $300
This has a super green flower, but its parentage is why I sought it out. Wallur and Avine have an incredible list of progeny to their credit and those genes have been combined in Via Vulcan Verde. This should be one of the promising breeders of the future.

Yerba Buena ‘Brentwood’ AM/AOS (Sanacderae x Diversion)- $90
A lesser known clone of this famous green breeder but every bit as good… perhaps it will prove better if used more for breeding.

Yerba Buena ‘White Cap’ AM/AOS (Sanacderae x Diversion)- $100

Reds / Mohagany

Amanda 'Joyance' AM/RHS (Radley x Paeony)- $1,000
Probably the best Ratcliffe red of all time for overall form and color. 'Joyance' is an exceptionally full-formed flower with fine red color and sheen. Always closely held for its beauty and wonderful properties as a parent, and recognized around the world as a superb breeder for quality.

Amandahill ‘Muir Woods' HCC/AOS  (Winston Churchill x Amanda)- $1,500
This plant has now proven itself as one of the finest red breeders in my collection. It has great size and full form and transmits those qualities readily to its progeny. Every single cross bloomed to date with this parent has been fantastic! This plant originally came from the fine grower/judge, Rob Levi, and he considered it the best of the awarded Amandahills.

Foreshadower 'High Intensity' (Jim Iverson x Vintner's Treasure)- $500
This is one of our three best Foreshadower's, and award quality. The complex vinicolors are few and far between when it comes to ones of this caliber. When people see one in bloom, it is always a show stopper!

Foreshadower 'Night Glow' (Jim Iverson x Vintner's Treasure)- $500
This one is just as good as 'High Intensity'!

Killarney Gem ‘Chocolate Soldier’ HCC/AOS (Halo x Edward Marshall Boehm)- $150
This looks a lot like Danella. It has a bright lime green dorsal with radiating mahogany bars in the lower portion and white halo. The petals are honey with a heavy reddish/brown overlay and dark pouch. Always a real show stopper!  

Orchilla 'Chilton' FCC/AOS (Paeony x Redstart)- $200
Still considered to be one of the top reds and now coming into its own as a breeder. For full, deep reds it's still at the top.

Paeony 'Regency' AM/AOS (Noble x Belisaire)- $100
This is a very famous "old-timer" and still has what is considered excellent form for a complex red. A great flower for the price and should be useful, even today, as a breeder.

Pele's Fire 'Blaze' (Carl Keys x John Hanes)- $225
'Pele's Fire' has a glowing red color that is inherited primarily from the Carl Key's parent. John Hanes has excellent genetics from Windbourn x Gigi, both well proven parents themselves.

Peachie ‘Madiera’ AM/AOS (Hellas x Betty Bracey)- $175
The darkest and the highest awarded of the various Peachies… nearly 6cm wide petals and 11cm wide dorsal sepal. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Peachie ‘Magic Flame’ AM/AOS  (Hellas x Betty Bracey)- $150
Similar to ‘Madiera’ but not quite as large. This is, however, the clone that I have used most often to breed with because it is not only very fine but has phenomenal plant vigor. I am seeing wonderful quality in its first blooming offspring.

Peachie ‘Via Anna Cappa’ B/CSA (Hellas x Betty Bracey)- $150
A little larger than ‘Magic Flame’ but not as good a grower. Very good color and the biggest of the Peachie's.

Lovely red with brushed dorsal and a proven breeder.

Startler ‘Glace’ AM/AOS (Masked Light x Redstart)- $650

Sylvan Vale 'Sparsholt' B/CSA (Vale x Paeony)- $1,125
When I bought this from John Hanes a number of years ago, he said he considered it one of the very top red breeders in his stud collection. I can say that one of the finest pink complex I have ever seen is Sylvan Vale x Skip Bartlett... by John Hanes. This is a plant for the breeder!

Tree of Beauty 'Val' AM/AOS (Red Vale x Winston Churchill)- $500
The best of all of the awarded Tree of Beauty cultivars, 'Val' had 6cm wide petals and beautiful balance of form. Its parents are both exceptional breeders in their own right, and this combination should prove exceptional as well. 

Via Luna Este 'China Doll' AM/AOS (Harbur x Gigi)- $250
With it's white dorsal and rose halo overlay, and brushed rose over honey petals …a lot of paph lovers say that this is the "prettiest" complex paph they know of. It is a true eye catcher!

Via Luna Este ‘Sailors Delight’ AM/AOS (Harbur x Gigi)- $1,250
Very rare! A monster red. Looks very different than ‘China Doll’. Basically red overall with a white dorsal halo. Petals approach nearly 7cm in width!

Winston Churchill 'Redoubtable' FCC/AOS (Eridge x Hampden)- $300
Everybody knows this one and it's still considered one of the best red with red brushed dorsal breeders today. A must for any serious hybridizer.
