dusting on the petals. This parent went on to produce the FCC awarded
Heaven's Gate.
Greensuds 'White Foam' HCC/AOS
(Susan Tucker x F.C. Puddle)- $200

is another at the top, but 'Val' is the foremost breeder.
Kenglow 'Val'
HCC/AOS (Diversion x
Mariano Martin)- $150
One of the finest greens available anywhere. When I
saw this monster green in the Awards Quarterly I had to have it. Nearly a
12 cm dorsal and 5.6cm wide petals. Fanstastic!
Kenmag
'Val' HCC/AOS (Maginot x Divisadero)-
$125
A rich Autumn-toned flower of very good size and form. The flower has a
nice gloss and lasts over two months in bloom.
King of Sweden 'Val'
AM/AOS (Golden
Diana x Denehurst)- $150
A very large flower with broad apple green petals
and huge white dorsal. If you like Yerba Buena type flowers that are even
fuller, bigger, and better, then don’t miss this one.
Lalime
'Superba' AM/AOS,S/CSA
(La Honda x Diversion)- $125
Fine parentage in this honey-green colored cross, and this is the best of
the awarded ones. Nice form and excellent gloss.
Magic Mood ‘Royal Sunshine’ HCC/AOS
(Golden Diana x Peter Black)-
$300
I feel this will be one of the great breeders of the
future! Both Golden Diana and Peter Black are superb parents in their own
right. Now they have been combined in a flower with 6.3cm wide petals and
a 10cm wide dorsal. What more can be said?
Meadowgreen
'Green Giant' (Great Western x Via
Virgenes)- $750
A fantastic flower for both its beauty and genetics. Its parents are
superb breeders for fertility and quality of offspring, and we feel that
this cultivar will continue that tradition. We are crossing this to our
most prized whites and greens.
Moreton Bay 'Sunshine'
AM/AOS (Spring Verdure
x Whitehall)- $100
'Sunshine' as the name indicates, is a brilliant
yellow flower on a tall stem. Though an old cross, still an excellent
example of a true concolor yellow.
Mountain Meadow ‘Jolly’
(Rod McLellan x Aspen Grove)–
$500
An award is down the road for this plant, but again
I bought this one for its breeding potential. Its grandparents are:
Sheerline, Golden Acres, Van Ness, and Kay Rinaman! These four have been
combined into one big full green to give us another great parent of the
future!
Peter Black 'Emerald'
AM/AOS (Littledean x
Hellas)- $100
A huge golden-green flower with full dorsal and
petals with its tall stem it makes for an imposing flower. Additionally,
Peter Black has proved itself as a terrific breeder in recent years.
Peter Black
'Maybrook's Omega'
AM/AOS,B/CSA (Littledean
x Hellas) - $500
'Maybrooks Omega' is equal in size to 'Emerald', but fuller and more
honey/amber overlay
on the background. Unfortunately, it grows at a fraction of the speed of
'Emerald' and probably breeds better form, so it is substantially more
costly.
Punch Line 'Cumulus' HCC/AOS (Xantippie
x Avine)-
$90
I got this clone at the suggestion of Joann Brown,
formerly of Stewarts Orchids. She said that it is good to cross with
whites to produce larger whites and pinks and is a nice seed producer.
Ruth
Wright 'Aurora' HCC/AOS (Hellas
x Revelstoke)- $200
Hellas hybrid which I originally bought for its
incredible size. Nearly 6cm wide petals and a huge dorsal are the
benchmarks of this flower.
San
Francisco 'Althea' HCC/AOS (La Honda x
Wallur)- $200
San Francisco is noted for its intense green/gold color and high gloss. It
has been a great breeder historically, and is re-emerging as a prominent
breeder today. Lovely full form and great color are combined together in
'Althea'.
Sheila Hanes
'Grand Green' AM/AOS (Agnes De Burc
x Caddiana)- $250
An excellent green/gold flower on a tall spike. This
has parented many fine modern day crosses. A must have for breeding greens
and golds!
Snowram
'Georgia' AM/AOS (Snow Bunting x Bahram)-
$200
A beautiful full white dorsal with a pastel rose brushing in the lower
center, honey/gold petals and pouch with honey overlay. This cultivar can
bloom with two flowers at a time and has produced some fine crosses when
mated to whites.
Stefani
Pitta 'Blue Jay' AM/AOS (Divisadero x Kay
Rinaman)- $450
When Stefani Pitta was crossed to Hellas, it produced one of the finest
complex crosses ever... Valerie Tonkin. The awarded Stefani Pittas are
large full golden flowers with a pale amber overlay and big white dorsal
sepal. There should be many great crosses to come from this grex in coming
years.
Stefani Pitta
'Robin' AM/AOS (Divisadero x Kay Rinaman)-
$350
Almost a duplicate in all respects to 'Blue Jay', but a bit more stippling
in the dorsal.
Tommie Hanes 'Althea'
FCC/AOS (Gwenpur x
Greensleeves)- $400
This one sets the standard by which all other green
complexes are judged. Big, very round, and a true green. Many say that if
you can only own one green, 'Althea' is the one.
Valerie
Tonkin 'Althea' AM/AOS (Hellas x Stefani
Pitta)- $750
Considered by many to be the best of all of the awarded Valerie Tonkins.
'Althea' is a monster honey/greenall over and a 3cm white halo on the
dorsal. All segments are very full and in perfect balance to oneanother.
SHould be a great future breeder.
Van Ness 'Lillian'
AM/AOS
(Golden Diana x Burleigh Mohur)- $100
In the last ten years, 'Lillian' has proved itself
as a good breeder and on a good blooming is a beauty to behold. Autumn
gold background with a rust brushing create a beautiful color combination.
Via Angel Verde 'White
Cap' (Avine x Yerba
Buena)- $75
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)- $200
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!
Via Del Sol
'Carimo' AM/AOS (Harry
Stage x Green Gold)- $250
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.
Via Muchos Ninos 'Full Moon'
HCC/AOS (Yerba Buena x
Caddiana)- $450
'Full Moon' is the best of the Via Muchos Ninos, with
incredible full form in all segments on a tall, strong stem. The color is
a honey yellow with a slight pastel pink brushing in the inner dorsal
area. Establishing a fantastic reputation as a quality breeder - a must
for the connoisseur or hybridizer!
Via
Muchos Ninos 'Via Verde' AM/AOS (Yerba
Buena x Caddiana)- $400
A very rare cultivar that we have seen used in recent years by the Orchid
Zone in their green breeding program. It has intense geen background color
and is very flat.
Via Oro ‘ Round World’ AM/AOS
(Hellas x San Carlos)- $750
Excellent vibrant citron gold flower of extremely
full form. Awarded an 85 point AM in the Spring of 1998. This is a
superb clone with great parentage!
Via
Pekeruru 'Green Moon' (Via Victoria x
Sheila Hanes)- $2,000
We bloomed this as by far the best flower out of a single flask that we
grew to maturity. It has everything... super size, great color, and
exceptional form and gloss. It should win a solid AM on a good
blooming; is proving to be one of the absolute best quality breeders
that we own!
Via Rio Verde 'Bonsai' B/CSA
(Diversion x Wallur)- $400
Two fine parents, 'Diversion' and 'Wallur' combine
to make a beautiful green-gold flower of medium size and very full form.
Should garner an AOS award in the future.
Via Victoria 'Sunday Special'
HCC/AOS (Greenhorn x
Avine)- $350
The first time I saw this in flower I couldn't
believe it! It's a huge green bloom , flat and full, with a giant white
dorsal... and it breeds.
Via Vulcan Verde 'Petticoat'
S/CSA (Avine x Wallur)- $350
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)- $100
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
A tried and true green breeder which imparts large
white dorsals and clear color to its offspring. Excellent with greens,
golds, and whites and still producing some sensational offspring.
Yerba
Nueva 'San Carlos' HCC/AOS (Yerba Buena x
Greenvale)-$1,250
We believe this will be a great parent for future greens and whites, the
genetics are tremendous. The cross was produced by the Orchid Zone, and
this is one of the best that was bloomed out... the only awarded one. It's very
big, over 16cm NS, fine color and gloss, we got the entire plant out of Kay Rinaman's
collection.
***REDS AND MAHOGANIES ***
Amanda 'Joyance' AM/RHS
(Radley x Paeony)- $1,250
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.
Amandahill ‘Muir Woods’
(Winston Churchill x Amanda)- $1,000
Just now starting to prove itself as a parent, I
have bloomed out Amandahill by niveum and by White Knight and both crosses
were excellent. This plant originally came from the fine grower/judge,
Rob Levi, and he considered it the best of the awarded Amandahills.
California
Girl 'Big Bear' B/CSA (My Daughter x
Jenna Marie)- $750
This is a really big rich burgundy/red flower with great substance and
gloss. It is not only quite beautiful but a very promising breeder.
Killarney Gem ‘Chocolate Soldier’ HCC/AOS
(Halo x Edward
Marshall Boehm)- $175
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)-
$125
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)-
$350
'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)- $200
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)- $175
A little larger than ‘Magic Flame’ but not as
good a grower. Very good color and the biggest of the Peachie's.
Redezelle
'Treasure' AM/AOS syn. '#3' B/CSA
(Robert Paterson x Doris Hunter)- $200
Lovely red with brushed dorsal and a proven breeder.
Startler ‘Glace’
AM/AOS (Masked Light
x Redstart)- $750

in England. It favors Orchilla ‘Chilton’ FCC/AOS and Red Beauty
‘Bion’ AM/AOS and should super with vinicolors or reds. A rare
offering.
Sylvan
Vale 'Sparsholt' B/CSA (Vale x Paeony)-
$1,500
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)- $750
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)-
$300
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!

One of the largest spotteds that I've ever seen... nearly 7cm wide petals,

spotteds and pinks of any plant in my collection.
Mildred Hunter
'Ileana' AM/AOS (Atlantis
x Everest)- $150
'Illeana' has red petals with a white dorsal and
small spotting fading to dusting in the lower dorsal and inner petal area.

red petals and a highly awarded cross. 'Terry' is one of the best.

today. Proven for yielding offspring with very broad petals, full form,
and intense spotting. This is another extraordinary hard to find clone and
coveted by all spotted breeders.
Thunder
Bay 'Flash' HCC/AOS,B/CSA (Blagrose x
Blue Order)- $300
Trenchant 'Bavaria'
HCC/AOS (Sea
Cliff x Langley Pride)- $250
Another very large and bold spotted red, 'Trenchant'

It's big and bold!
Western
Thunder 'Toad King' (Eagle Lake x Rolling
Thunder)- $500
Absolutely huge red/spotted, with big warty spots overlying the dorsal
sepal. This should be a superb breeder for bold spots on big flowers!
Winston
Churchill 'Indomitable' FCC/AOS
(Eridge x
Hampden)- $250
Same basic shape and size as ‘Redoubtable’, but
a spotted rather than a red brushed dorsal.
Woodruff
'Bonza' (Blendia x Small World)-
$1,500
The photo says it all... absolutely perfect shape and markings... we love
the spots in the petals. If all that's not enough, it has impeccable
parentage from two of the best spotted parents of all time.
***PRIMARIES
AND NOVELTIES***
A R Smith ‘Very Cherry’
(callosum x druyi)- $75
This is callosum v. vini x druyii and is really
interesting looking. It looks a lot like a giant vinicolor druyii in
glowing rootbeer/purple tones. Very different!
Assinibione
'Maybrook' AM/AOS (glaucophyllum x Hellas)-
$350
This plant should one day receive an FCC from the AOS. It is amazingly
larger than any of the awarded Assinibione's that have been awarded. It
should be a phenomenal breeder with the brachy types.
Black
Diamond 'Jazz Singer' (delenatii x
fairrieanum)- $90
An old cross but very lovely flower, even today. This plant came from the
private collection of the highly regarded connoisseur paph growers, Helen

(Madame Martinet x lawrencianum)-
$75
The darkest of all and also awaiting an award in
this judging system!
Darling ‘Christiane’ AM/AOS
(Madame Martinet x lawrencianum)-
$75
Recently awarded its AM, this is one of the
loveliest delenatii hybrids I know of. It has soft pastel raspberry tone
in the dorsal and petal edges with darker raspberry spotting over the main
petals. Pouch is pastel pink. The Darlings will breed very reluctantly and
hold promise for a new look in pinks down the road.
Darling ‘Genevieve’ AM/RHS
(Madame Martinet x lawrencianum)-
$75
Similar to ‘Christiane’ but darker pink tones
throughout. Should take an award in our system one day.
Delrosi
'Clockwork Pink' (delenatii x
rothschildianum)- $75
Nice flower and very different from almost all of the previous Delrosi
plants around. This plant blooms like clockwork every year!
Ernest Read 'Lula'
AM/AOS (callosum x
William Mathews)- $150
From the William Matthews parent, this clone has
high gloss, a very tall bloom spike, and incredible lasting properties (up
to four months or more). This is the absolute best of the awarded Ernest
Reads.
Frank Hughes ‘Tanya’
AM/AOS (Rolfei
x concolor)- $175
This clone was Frank Hughes favorite because of its
deeper color and higher flower count than his other awarded ones. Nearly
11cm across, cream overall with burgundy striations in the sepals and
petals. This Cross is what started the trend of Rolfei breeding.
Fumi's
Delight 'Winter Sun' (armeniacum x
micranthum)- $75
Gaulois
'Blackout' AM/AOS (Goultenianum x
rothschildianum)- $750
Hell's Chamber 'Eureka'
AM/AOS (Hellas

(S. Gratrix x Psyche)- $1,500
A Nick Tannaci cross of exceptional size and form.

a natural spread of almost 10cm, dorsal width of 6cm, and 5cm by 5.5cm
petals. One of the finest brachys anywhere!
Laser ‘Blinding Night’
AM/AOS (Red Sky x Red
Maude)- $750
This Laser has a glowing deep beet red color from
the mastersianum in the background, as well as very long lasting flowers.
Up to three months is not unusual. The dorsal on ‘Blinding Night’ is
8cm across, petals over 2cm in breadth, and a natural spread of over
13cm… and color…the name tells it all.
Madame
Martinet 'Porto Fino' AM/AOS (callosum x
delenatii)- $85
Madame
Martinet 'Thelaret' AM/AOS (callosum x
delenatii)- $85
Mike Roccaforte 'Mike' AM/AOS
(rothschildianum x Greyi)- $100
This flower looks similar to a petite white Delrosi,
with even stippling throughout. If you like roth x brachy hybrids, you'll
love this.
Sunset 'Alpha' AM/AOS
(Earl of Chester x Maudiae)- $50
Looks like a Maudiae type vinicolor but more
red/mahogany tones than in the vinis. Bold color and nice stance.
William Matthews
'Knobcreek' AM/AOS (lawrencianum
x mastersianum)- $50
As good as William Matthews 'Quist' AM. 'Knobcreek'
has fine color and form on a strong stem and lasts 3-4 months in bloom and
it blooms yearound!
Woodrose ‘Echo’
AM/AOS (charlesworthii
x Normandy)- $200
Very hard to find and quite beautiful. This cross of
charlesworthii with a complex red give a rich rosy color. The dorsal is
white overlaid with a basal fan of rose, petals are rose/lavender over
honey, and the pouch is a nice mahogany. Great pink breeding potential
when crossed to whites.
***SPECIES***

- $350
Another very large bellatulum but of the coloratum
form. Dark oxblood spotting and extraordinary substance.
bodegomii ‘De Freise Road’AM/AOS

This is considered a variety of wilhelmenia or
praestans. Several judges here in the Southern region have praised this as
the nicest they’ve ever seen. Nice size, outstanding form, and vivid
dark color!

sukhakulii ‘Jack’ AM/AOS
- $450
One of the best… 2.9cm wide petals and excellent
clarity of color.
sukhakulii ‘Rainforest’
AM/AOS - $450
I have bloomed this with a natural spread of 17cm!
The petals are a respectable 2.5cm wide as well. We have succeeded in
getting sukhakulii with really wide petals nowadays, this clone could be
the key to attaining a new level in natural spread.
