Other Genera

Dendrobium

Tet 24      NEW    
Den. aberrans (Den. aberrans '#1' x Den. aberrans '#2')

This is a super cool mini-Dendrobium, mature plants are just 3” tall.  Mature plants fit well in a 3” pot.  The long lasting, white flowers are ¾” across, with 4-5 blooms held above the foliage on wiry stems.  A notable feature of this species is that the new growth and the old growths produce inflorescences that will continue to re-flower for many years!  Expect blooms in January and February.  This species makes an excellent subject for indoor growing. The temperature should range from 62-66F at night to 72-80F in the day. In its natural habitat, rainfall is year-round with a slightly drier condition in winter. Water to keep the potting media from drying out completely, and in winter just watering a little less, that is all that is needed!

Lycaste

SVO 9539    NEW   
Lyc. Birthday Girl (Lyc. campbellii 'Green Mite' AM/AOS x Lyc. brevispatha 'Costa Rica')
For a Lycaste, campbellii has an unusually well-rounded petal shape, with petals held in a nearly flat presentation.  This characteristic makes it a very attractive flower and should impart this fine quality to its offspring.  Lyc. brevispatha has a petal shape and presentation like campbellii, but not quite as pronounced.  Here we are expecting the petals to favor the rounded shape and flat presentation of the parents.  There will be 5-7 flowers produced per bulb in colors ranging from yellow to red, and some will be blushed red.  When mature, the multi-growth plants will develop into ‘living bouquets’ covering the growths with blooms: impressive!  These small-growing plants will be blooming in 3” pots and mature in 4” pots.  Grow these in warm conditions, 60-75 nights and 75-85 days. In late spring and summer frequent watering is important, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out a bit more between waterings.
3” pots $20 

Lyc. campbellii 'Green Mite' AM/AOS Lyc. brevispatha 'Costa Rica'

SVO 10140    NEW   
(Lyc. Corrimal 'Malcolm' AM/AOS x Lyc. Suave 'Perfect Pixie')
The flowers of Corrimal (Lyc. aromatica x Lyc. macrophylla) ‘Malcolm’ can be simply stated as beautiful!  The plant is a prolific bloomer, producing 5-6 flowers per bulb.  Put all this together and you have a spectacular display!  Suave 'Perfect Pixie' (Lyc. suaveolens x Lyc. campbellii) is amazingly floriferous, with many flower spikes per bulb.  Thanks to the campbellii in its ancestry, petals are held in a flat presentation, making for a fuller-flower appearance. With this hybrid we are developing the idea of “small plants with lots of flowers”.  This new direction in breeding will give us flower colors in yellow blushed in red-burgundy.  Lots of flowers will be produced per bulb, creating pots filled with a bouquet of blooms.  The cross will produce plants that will stay small, bloom in 3-4” pots with the developing growth in spring.  Cultivate these plants with warm conditions, 60-75 nights and 75-85 days. In late spring and summer frequent watering is important, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out a bit more between waterings.

In spring and summer plants like frequent watering, keeping the media moist.  In fall and winter allow the media to dry more between waterings.
