Here at Sunset Valley Orchids, we breed for award quality orchid plants. Our breeding lines are focused in two ways; the development of superior flowers and; for vigorous, compact growing plants.
Our primary effort is in the hybridizing of the Cattleya and Catasetinae alliance, we also have significant offerings in several other genera.
Interest in the Catasetinae alliance is increasing. The development of the “blackest orchid seen” the Fredclarkeara After Dark (Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Donna Wise) has really captured attention. The expectation for the next generation of Catasetinae hybrids is spectacular!
Our Cattleya plant breeding has been under development for over 20 years and we have many unique breeding lines that are quite stunning. Our specialty is compact sized cattleyas where the plants are less than 10” tall and bloom in 4” pots.
All our Orchid hybrids are grown from seed in the laboratory and we raise them in our 20,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse space.
Selection for vigorous plant growth starts in the lab and continues through to maturity; only the most vigorous plants are moved on. We only sell well grown plants.
Please take some time to look at the orchid listings and the pictures of the parents. You will see our breeding stock is exceptional; this is an exciting orchid hybrid list of high potential. E-mail , I enjoy talking orchids.
