Pink & White

HC2012: Legacy Moon ‘Mammoth’ x Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS…12-16cm… $45.00 
This cross combines two of the most outstanding white/pinks in our collection. ‘Mammoth’ is an absolutely massive flower of nearly 6 inches natural spread. It is mated with the legendary breeder Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS.

 HC2095: Incan Treasure (Inca ‘Penn Valley’ AM/AOS x Porcelain Treasure ‘Dream Girl’ HCC/AOS)…14-18cm… $35.00 
An exact remake of a cross that produced one of the best white/pinks I’ve ever bloomed, Incan Treasure ‘Quintessence’. These will primarily be smooth pastel pink tones over a cream to white background.

 HC2224: Snow Dancer (Mem. Jack Tonkin ‘Marriott Spotted Galaxy’ AM/AOS x Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS)…14-16cm… $45.00 
Look for large cream/whites with stipples or spotting in rose across the flower. These are one of my favorite new directions in white/pink breeding… looking for spotted whites! (Very Limited)

HC2453: Via Vulcan Verde ‘Petticoat’ S/CSA x Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS…14-18cm… $30.00 
Very similar in look to the famous Orchid Zone cross of White Knight. Flowers are cream or white in background color and are dusted with garnet, to almost pure white.

HC2454: Bella Luna (Gege Hughes ‘Harvest Moon’ AM/AOS x Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS…14-18cm.. $30.00 
Another fine Skip Bartlett cross which is producing cream to white flowers, many with lovely pastel pink overlay. These are very pretty, and the best have fine full form.

HC2562: Luminary 'Moondust' HCC/AOS x Amandahill 'Muir Woods' HCC/AOS 12-14cm...$45.00  
Super rare cross that I didn't expect to produce at all; there are no registered crosses to date with Luminary. The pollen parent red has exceptional form and size and is always a superb breeder for high quality offspring. (Very Limited)

HC2579: Izanaminomikoto (Via Muchos Ninos ‘Full Moon’ HCC/AOS x Skip Bartlett ‘White Pepper’ HCC/AOS)…14-16cm… $35.00 
A cross of similar breeding to HC2454, Bella Luna. If you like the pastel white/pinks, I’d highly recommend at least one of each of these two crosses. The smooth pastel pinks are hard to find and one of my favorite color types. *** (See if you can say the name fast five times when ordering… without getting tongue-tied!) J 

 HC2663: Ruth Wright 'Aurora' HCC/AOS x Great Expectations 'Shimmer Dust' AM/AOS  12-14cm... $30.00   
Another Great Expectations cross, made because our Ruth Wright x White Legacy cross turned out so great. Expect interesting variability from pastel to vibrant pinks, over cream/white backgrounds.

HC2675: Skip Bartlett 'Maybrook' AM/AOS x Skip Bartlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS 12-14cm... $90.00    
A dream cross combining the famous 'White Pepper' cultivar with the only other Skip Bartlett ever awarded! I can't wait to start blooming these out, and seriously considered growing them all out. I will release only a few of these! (Very Limited)


Gold, Green & Honey tone

 

HC2059: Sheila Hanes ‘Grand Green’ AM/AOS x Gege Hughes ‘Harvest Moon’ AM/AOS…18-22cm… $25.00 
Over 200 crosses have been made with Shiela Hanes in its parentage, and for good reason. It contributes nice color and good size, and ‘Grand Green’ has the tallest flower spike of any orchid in the greenhouse.
Gege Hughes is a gorgeous Hellas hybrid… a rich yellow/gold with full form and exceptional gloss. Look for tall nicely tailored amber golds.

 

HC2162: (Sheila Hanes ‘Grand Green’ AM/AOS x Elfstone ‘Moongold’)…18-22cm… $30.00  See “Sheila Hanes” details above, and add the parentage of Elfstone. Elfstone is one of the best parents for size in the world, and should give large flowers with very tall flower spikes in clear greens and golds.

 

HC2164: (Sheila Hanes ‘Grand Green’ AM/AOS x Via Muchos Ninos ‘Full Moon’ HCC/AOS)…18-22cm… $25.00 
A very similar cross to HC2059. Both have
Hellas as a grandparent and will produce primarily honey brushed golds on tall stems with high gloss over the flower.
 

 

HC2227: (Via Muchos Ninos ‘Full Moon’ HCC/AOS x Elfstone ‘Moongold’)…18-22cm… $30.00 
Expect some large full flowers to bloom from this cross, in both golds and brushed tones. The best of these should have excellent size and form and look like they were sprayed with lacquer gloss.

 

HC2250: (Yerba Nueva ‘San Carlos’ HCC/AOS x Gege Hughes ‘Harvest Moon’ AM/AOS)…18-22cm… $25.00 
‘San Carlos’ is nearly 17cm in natural spread and has produce both exceptional whites and greens in the grosses Alchemy and Holy Light, respectively. Expect both vibrant clear golds and lovely honey gold tones.

 

HC2332: (Mountain Meadow ‘Jolly’ x Via Muchos Ninos ‘Full Moon’ HCC/AOS)…18-22cm… $25.00 
The enetic lineage of the pod parent, ‘Jolly’, is like a Who’s Who of great green breeders. Paired with the beautiful Via Muchos Ninos’ Full Moon’ HCC/AOS, I have high expectations for some very well formed green/golds.

 

HC2673   Unregistered - (Gege Hughes 'Harvest Moon' AM/AOS x Lippewunder 'Leviathon')   12-16cm...$35.00  
See above “Gege Hughes” description. The pollen parent, 'Leviathon' is over 16cm across and has over 6.5cm wide petals. There should be wonderful variations in this cross; some will have rich all gold color throughout, many will have a chocolate crescent or speckling in the dorsal center from the Lippewunder
.


Red, Mohagany & Spotted

 

HC1958: (Mach One ‘Cinco’ AM/AOS x Jenna Marie ‘Sparkle’ AM/AOS, S/19WOC)…14-16cm… $25.00 
This cross was bred for big bold spotted flowers on tall stems and good color from the Jenna Marie pollen parent. They should also have very strong stems that hold the flower well above the foliage.

 

HC2099: Femme Fatale (Western Thunder ‘Storm Front’ HCC/AOS x Jenna Marie ‘Sparkle’ AM/AOS, S/19WOC)…14-18cm… $30.00 
A reverse remake of a wonderful Orchids Royale cross, switching the pod and pollen parent. We’ve just started blooming a few of these and the best are wonderful!

 

HC2291: Star Power ‘Future Fantasy’ x Thunder Cat ‘Sizzler’ HCC/AOS…16-20cm… $30.00 
The ‘Star Power’ parent is a huge red spotted with very fine form. Paired with the exceptional shape and color of ‘Sizzler’, color and form should be highly dominant.

 

HC2294: (Wend Valley ‘Valentine’ x Pele’s Fire ‘Blaze’ HCC/AOS)…14-18cm… $30.00 
If you like solid reds with cherry red, not cordovan, color… this is a great cross. Both parents are among the deepest colored reds in the greenhouse, and dominant for their color. The ones that get both color and rounded form, will be superb.

 

HC2328: (Trenchant ‘Bavaria’ B/CSA x Thunder Cat ‘Sizzler’ HCC/AOS)…14-16cm… $25.00 
A similar cross in both parentage and expectations to HC1958.

 

HC2472: (Thunder Cat ‘Powerhouse’ x Kimura’s Present ‘Papa Aroha’)…14-18cm… $30.00 
‘Powerhouse’ is a very well rounded flower with excellent color and patterning. The pollen parent is over 15cm in natural spread and very broad petals. This is a new direction in breeding, in combining a dusted green/gold with a red, so I am excited to see what new patterns and color tones will be produced.

 


Primary & Novelty

HC2275- delenatii 'Loveliness' x California Girl 'Big Bear' B/CSA  10-12cm ...$35.00 
This is an extremely rare and hard to make cross! The pod parent will combine with the giant California Girl, to give rich rose/pink flowers. Expect a wide range of shapes from the mixed genetic types. (Very Limited)



HC2402 - henryanum 'Marriott Leopard' AM/AOS x Odette's Glory 'Night Magic' 12-14cm... $25.00   
The henryanum used here is the best ever awarded by the AOS, and the first two of this cross were incredible for unique color and markings. It's an amazing color and pattern combination.

 

HC2565- (rothschildianum 'High Intensity' x Kevin Porter 'Joy Black')  10-12cm…$85.00   This is one of those extremely rare crosses that, when I made it, I knew would probably produce no offspring. There is only one cross ever registered with Kevin Porter as a parent, and is was to delenatii. In crossing KP to roth, it shouldn't have worked. But in my mind, the cross could be so beautiful... how could I not try it? I have very very few of these to offer, and expect them to look like Gloria Naugle, but even better!

 


Species

 

HC2572 spicerianum - (spicerianum 'Marriott Quintessence' x spicerianum 'Warrior' AM/AOS)    near blooming size...$60.00 
The pod parent is a superb example of this species, over 9cm across, and almost always two flowered on a spike. ‘Warrior’ is nearly 8 1/2 cm across, has even darker green coloration, and is the highest awarded of this species ever. Of the first to bloom this season, two were FCC quality and a number of others were as good as 50% of the AM/AOS ones!
 

HC2131 villosum v. alba - (villosum v. alba ‘Sunfire’ AM/AOS x Self)   12-14cm...$150  
'Sunfire' is one of only two albino forms of this species to ever garner an AOS award. We are the first orchid company here in the
U.S. to offer this exceptionally rare solid yellow/gold form. It is absolutely stunning with a neon armeniacum color and gloss that looks as if it were dipped in paraffin wax. No discount on this limited availability cross.

HC2132 villosum v. alba - (villosum v. alba ‘Flat Top' x villosum v. alba ‘Sunfire’ AM/AOS)   12-14cm...$150  
This is very similar to cross HC2131, but uses a villosum as the pod parent which has a much flatter than normal dorsal sepal. It is impossible to predict which of these two crosses will be the best, but both should be extraordinary. No discount on this limited availability cross.

HC2228 victoria-mariae - (victoria-mariae 'Marriott Victory' AM/AOS x Self)   16-18cm...$85  
Simply put, this is a selfing of the largest, darkest, best formed example of this species that I know of anywhere... and the highest ever awarded!
No discount on this limited availability cross.
