(Morm. revolutum x Ctsm. spitzii)

The Mormodes will impart color and the Catasetum size and shape. These will be trigger less flowers influenced by the Mormodes resulting in improved flower longevity. This Catamodes will have rusty red flowers being produced 10-15 per inflorescence.

(Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. fimbriatum var. moorianum)

This yet un-named hybrid will become the next generation of Fredclarkeara (Fdk.). As with other Fdk. hybrids flower longevity will be greatly improved over the Catasetum parent, expect longevity of 5-7 weeks. The Painted Desert will impart its fine shape and color, the fimbriatum has an incredible solid dark purple flower color. These will have very dark flower color, possibly in the black range. This is a very promising hybrid with a very limited supply.

(Mo. Painted Desert x Ctsm. Maria Helena)

Another new Fredclarkeara (Fdk.) hybrid. Ctsm. Maria Helena (macrocarpum x galeritum) Has helmet shaped flowers with very dark interiors and green exteriors. The Painted Desert should improve the overall shape and lend its color. The expectation is for long lasting, slightly cupped flowers produced 10-15 per stem in dark in colors.

Cycd. Chocolate and Cherries
(Morm. sinuata 'SVO' HCC/AOS x Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO' AM/AOS)

The deep red color from the sinuata will dominate the flower color and the fine shape of the warscewiczii will lend its form. This is a proven combination giving excellent results. I am expecting 7-11 flowers in the 3" size. Limited supply

Cyc. barthiorum (Cyc. barthiorum 'Sunset Valley Orchids' AM/AOS x Cyc. barthiorum 'SVO II')

My first successful sibling cross with the two excellent Cyc. barthiorums. Full shaped rose flowers with spotting will be produced from this mating. Superb line breeding for improvement in flower color, shape and size.

(Morm. Exotic Treat 'SVO II' x Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO' AM/AOS)

Exotic Treat is a deep yellow flower with dark burgundy spots, fantastic color. The warscewiczii will predictably impart its fine form and allow for the Mormodes color to come through. Bright yellow flowers with spots and excellent shape!

Ctsm. denticulatum
(Ctsm. denticulatum 'Sunset Valley Orchids' AM/AOS x self)

2003 winner of the Ann and Phil Jessup Botanical Trophy. A spectacular small growing Catasetum with mature bulbs only 5" tall. Expect 20+ flowers of good color measuring 1.5" across. Very rare, desirable and cute, a must have species. Limited supply

(Cyc. cooperi 'SVO III' FCC/AOS x Cyc. Jean E. Monnier '#2')

My cross of Cyc. Jean E Monnier has earned an impressive 5 AM and 6 HCC, this hybrid combines one of the darkest Jean E. Monnier that carries 35 flowers combined with the best cooperi awarded. This is the next level of improvement in this line of breeding. Expect 30-35 large 4" flowers in colors ranging from deep chocolate to light bronze with dark spotting. This is a "must have" hybrid.

Cyc. barthiorum (Cyc. barthiorum 'Sunset Valley Orchids' AM/AOS x Cyc. barthiorum 'SVO III')

My second successful sibling cross. Cyc. barthiorum 'III' is by far the best in my collection. Full shaped, dark rose flowers with random spotting are produced from this mating. Superb line breeding looking towards significant improvement in quality and for future AOS awards.

Cyc. Jean E. Monnier
(Cyc. cooperi ‘SVOIII' FCC/AOS x Cyc. barthiorum ‘SVOII')

This has all the potential to be the best Jean E. Monnier yet. The cooperi is by far the most superior in size, color and it can carries over 40 flowers, the barthiorum outstanding as well and is surly going to be awarded. This is a cross you need to add to your collection.

(Cyc. warscewiczii 'Panama' x Morm. warscewiczii 'SVO')

The Morm. warscewiczii has a very complex coloration, produces many flowers and 3-4 spikes per bulb, this plant took a CCM/AOS and is one of the most vigorous Mormodes. The Cyc. warscewiczii will improve the shape and allow the exotic color of the Mormodes to come through. Looking forward to blooming this Cycnodes. Limited

(Mo. Painted Desert ‘SVO' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. tenebrosum ‘Ed #3')

Here is a new Fredclarkeara (Fdk.) grex. The flower longevity will be greatly improved as with other Fdk. hybrids, expect lasting qualities of 5-7 weeks. The Painted Desert used here is the parent of the famous Fdk. After Dark and the tenebrosum bred the highly awarded Ctsm. Donna Wise grex another parent in the Fdk After Dark. Superior parents used with a proven track record in breeding dark colored flowers. Is it possible this cross could lead to more black flowers? This is a very promising hybrid with a limited supply.

Cyc. warscewiczii (warscewiczii 'Jumbo' x warscewiczii 'SVO II' AM/AOS ')

This is the true Cyc. warscewiczii, the queen and king of the Cycnoches family. These are highly fragrant, swan shaped green and white flowers. Expect 5 to 9 large flowers per stem. These are not often offered for sale and it is a truly spectacular species

Morm. warscewiczii (Morm. warscewiczii 'SVO' x self)

Morm. warscewiczii has 15-17, 2" flowers with a complex coloration, it is one of the easiest Mormodes to grow and flower. This plant took a CCM with 4 infloresences per bulb last year. This is a highly rewarding Mormodes to cultivate.

Cycd. Opalina
(Morm. horichii 'SVO' x Cyc. warscewiczii 'Giant Swan')

Cycnodes hybrids have a high average of quality, this one is no exception. These plants will produce strong upright stems carrying 13-17 large rose-purple flowers with darker lips. Expect excellent shape and hybrid vigor from this breeding line.

Cyc. warscewiczii
(Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO II' AM/AOS x Cyc. warscewiczii 'SVO' AM/AOS ')

Similar to SVO 1467, here two highly awarded plants are combined. This is the next level of improvement for this desirable species.

‘Mem. Pat Worthington' has superior form, very rounded flowers with a dark chocolate color. Expect excellent shape and color from this selfing.

(Ctsm. Donna Wise ‘Lee' HCC/AOS x Ctsm. Susan Fuchs ‘Burgundy Chips' FCC/AOS)

This is quite possibly the best of ‘type' breeding in the pileatum/expansum group. These will be large deep red and spotted flowers carried 13-15 or more per stem. A very choice hybrid that will produce spectacular flowers.

Cyc. Martha Clarke
(Cyc. barthiorum ‘SVOII' x Cyc. herrenhusanum ‘SVO Sun God)

After a long wait this cross is available again. Similar to SVO 919 however barthiorum is used as the pod parent. This may bring out more of the orange colors. Don't miss out these….

(Cyc. William Clarke x Cyc. warscewiczii)

The next generation of breeding Cycnoches, looking for improvements in shape, size, color and flower count. These will produce 10-15 green flowers per stem.

(Morm. lawrenceana ‘SVO' x Morm. Exotic Treat ‘SVO')

Breeding for high color, easy to grow Mormodes. Flowers will have exotic colors and patterns ranging from yellow to burgundy. A new and interesting type of breeding.

(Ctsm. denticulatum ‘SVO' AM/AOS x Morm. igneum ‘Red Lip')

This specific breeding is for small growing plants with bright flower color. The addition of the Mormodes will improved flower longevity and impart it bright red color. The full shaped flowers of the denticulatum will bring fine from to the cross. I am highly anticipating the first blooming of this hybrid. A unique blend of two spectacular species.

(Fdk. After Dark ‘SVO Amazing' x Ctsm. Donna Wise ‘Long Last')

This is the first hybrid with the world famous Fdk. After Dark. Here we have bred it back to ‘Long Last' a sibling of its parent ‘Kathleen' which has solid dark flowers that last and last, thus the name. Hard to improve on Fdk. After Dark but this should increase flower size and maintain the dark coloration. Can you imagine 3” black flowers! Very limited

( Cyc. haagii ‘SVO' HCC/AOS x Morm. lawrenceana ‘SVO')

Cyc. haagii produces 2-4 inflorescences per bulb with 15 or more green flowers and red spots on each. The addition of the Mormodes will give color and flower longevity. Expect green to rose colored flowers covered with spots. Robust plants with showy flowers.

(Cyc. haagii ‘SVO' HCC/AOS x Morm. elegans alba ‘SVO' HCC/AOS)

The green flowers and red spots of Cyc. haagii combined with the dark green stripes and lime green flowers of Morm. elegans. Hoping for shapely green flowers with green stripes and a few red spots. Very unique color combination, should be stunning.

(Fdk. After Dark ‘SVO Amazing' x Ctsm. Mark Dimmitt ‘Ed Wise')

Once again a hybrid with the famous Fdk. After Dark. The very dark burgundy colored Ctsm. Mark Dimmitt (Ctsm. Donna Wise x Ctsm. Orchidglade) has the potential to significantly improve the shape and size of the After Dark while adding its dark color genes. I am expecting bigger and better flowers than After Dark. Very limited.

(Fdk. After Dark ‘SVO Amazing' x Ctsm. Donna Wise ‘Kathleen' AM/AOS)

One more offering with Fdk. After Dark, here it crossed back with its parent ‘Kathleen'. Once again the potential for larger black flowers may be unlocked here. A superior hybrid with amazing potential. Don't wait on these supply is limited.

(Morm. tezontle alba ‘SVO' AM/AOS x Cyc. warscewiczii ‘Giant Swan')

The tezontle alba carried 46 flowers when it was awarded and ‘Giant Swan' blooms with up to 9 flowers. The Mormodes will dominate flower color and count the warscewiczii will lend its fine form. Expect 25 or more green flowers on mature plants.

( Clo. Rebecca Northen ‘Grapefruit Pink' x Morm. igneum ‘Orange')

These will be similar in shape and form to the successful cross, Mo. Painted Desert. By using the orange from of igneum expect flowers to have orange coloration as the Clowesia is recessive for color. These will be small plants under 8” in height and produce a profusion of blooms. Same as SVO 1836

( Cyc. warscewiczii ‘Giant Swan' x Morm. igneum ‘Red')

The iridescent red color from the igneum will dominate the flower color and the fine shape of the warscewiczii will lend its fine form. This is a proven combination giving excellent results. I am expecting 7-11 flowers with excellent coloration.

( Cyc. warscewiczii ‘Giant Swan x Morm. hookeri ‘Black Fuzz')

Cycnodes hybrids have a high average of quality were the Mormodes dominates for color and the Cycnoches for form. The hookeri has an unusual black fuzzy lip with dark petals and sepals. It is hoped some will bloom with fuzzy dark lips….. Lots of potential.

(Clo. Rebecca Northen ‘Grapefruit Pink' x Morm. lawrenceana ‘SVO')

These will be similar to the successful cross, Mo. Painted Desert. By using the large flower of Morm. lawrenceana I am expecting an improvement of flower size over Painted Desert. These will be small plants under 8” in height and produce many colorful flowers.

(Clo. Grace Dunn ‘Live Oak' HCC/AOS x Morm. elegans alba ‘SVO' HCC/AOS)

This will also be similar to Mo. Painted Desert in form but I am expecting the dark green stripes and lime green flowers of Morm. elegans to dominate the color. Very unusual color combination not seen in this group. Unusual and different.

(Clo. Grace Dunn ‘Live Oak' HCC/AOS x Morm. buccinator aurea ‘SVO')

Also will be similar in form to Mo. Painted Desert but I am expecting the deep golden yellow color of the buccinator aurea to dominate. Unusual and different.

(Cyc. warscewiczii ‘Giant Swan' x Cyc. warscewiczii ‘SVO' AM/AOS)

These are highly fragrant, swan shaped green and white flowers measuring up to 5” across. Here two superior cultivars are combined; expect 5 to 9 large flowers per stem.
