New -2008 Lc. Pink Elf

A Linda remake of Lc. Pink Elf. I have used Lc. Mini Purple 'Tamiami' X Cattleya loddigessii 'Toni Boss'. Photo is the first one to bloom and it is only in a two inch pot. Blooming 1/1/08. I am very happy with this much improved remake of Lc. Pink Elf. All plants produced here in our lab and grown in our greenhouse before being released.

NEW-2008 Encyclia Gail Nakagaki

Nice plants that make round pseudobulbs at growth base and then tall upright foliage. Flower stems are tall and upright with pleasantly fragrant Encyclia form flowers. This is a primary hybrid of (Encyclia cordigera X alata) These are not clones and flowers and fragrance will vary from plant to plant. Recently (July 2008) potted into 6 inch pots. Grow in open fast draining mix and allow roots to dry quickly between waterings. Fragrant Orchid.

New-2008 Lc. Love Knot

Another Linda remake of a very popular hybrid. I used the famous C. walkeriana 'Pendentive' X Laelia sincorana 'Jose Rodriguez'. C. walkeriana 'Pendentive' is an albino form of the species and Laelia sincorana 'Jose Rodriguez' has a white flower with bold pink (stripes) keels in the lip. I was looking for semi-alba Lc. Love Knots. The two plants that have bloomed to date are solid pink with excellent shape and size. Still looking for the few plants to bloom in semi-alba. Very nice plants produced from our lab and grown exclusively here on site. These have never been offered on our website.

Blc. Mary Thorne= (Bc. White Wonder X Lc. Angel Love)

The pod parent, BC White Wonder is (Donna Kimura x C. walkeriana). I bought this orchid plant at Kensington Orchids in Maryland and after several years of researching a source of the original cross, I could find no one who claimed to be the hybridizer. So, I contacted the RHS and ended up naming it, hence the name BC White Wonder because I always wondered who made this orchid cross. The other parent, Lc. Angel Love is just a buttletproof orchid plant. It grows nicely and puts up a very pretty head of soft bubble gum pink flowers. Blc. Mary Thorne was produced exclusively my me. I set the seed pod, did all of the lab work and when they were ready to come out of bottles, raised all of these babies in our greenhouses. When the first one flowered, it was beyond my expectations. Mary Thorne is my mother. Photo shown is Blc. Mary Thorne 'A Mother's Love'. Most of the seedlings are blooming pink as the second photo shows. Fragrant Orchid

Bright light levels are welcome and they appreciate drying between waterings. These are currently potted in a bark mixture, but can accept mounted culture very nicely. Very easy to grow and bloom.
