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. These are easy to grow! In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out well between waterings. The plants will drop the leaves off in late winter then flower with the beginning of the new growths in the spring.

SVO 10140
(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. These are easy to grow! In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the media to dry out well between waterings. The plants will drop the leaves off in late winter then flower with the beginning of the new growths in the spring.

(Lyc. dowiana 'SVO Best' x Lyc. campbelii 'Green Mite' AM/AOS)
This hybrid appears to be unregistered by the Royal Horticultural Society… That's a little hard to believe! The floral characteristics and plant habits of each parent are impressive, making of a lots of potential. Lyc. dowiana is a compact plant producing flowers continuously for 5-6 months, it really is in an impressive bloomer. The Lyc. campbellii has an unusually well-rounded petal shape that are held in a nearly flat presentation making a very attractive flower and each mature bulb produced 5-7 flowers. We are anticipating compact floriferous plants with high flower quality, 3-4 flowers per bulb and if the dowiana does when we hope it will you might just get 2 or 3 flowerings a season. How nice will that be? Grow these as all the Lycaste listed.

(Lyc. marcobulbon 'Rick Wells' x Lyc. Suave 'SVO')
Intense solid yellow from this pairing. Expect 6-9 flowers per mature bulb! plants will be very floriferous. Lyc. marcobulbon produces many flowers per bulb. Suave (Lyc. suaveolens x Lyc. campbellii) is also 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. In the spring these will produce impressive bouquets of flowers from leafless plants with new leaves just starting to come up between the flowers. In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist. In fall and winter allow the potting media to dry out well between waterings and the plants will naturally drop their leaves in late winter.

(Lyc. Corrimal 'Malcolm' AM/AOS x Lyc. Suave 'SVO')
The 'living bouquet' idea with many flowers from small plants is the plan here. The flowers of Corrimal (Lyc. aromatica x Lyc. macrophylla) 'Malcolm' are beautiful! The plant is a prolific bloomer, producing 5-6 flowers per bulb in spring. Suave (Lyc. suaveolens x Lyc. campbellii) is amazing, with many flower spikes per bulb. Excellent vigor from this cross. These small plants will produce impressive bouquets of flowers in the spring. In summer, warm conditions, 65-75 nights and 75-90 days are perfect. Frequent watering is important. late spring and summer, keeping the media moist.

Kefericzella Gary Krause
(Warzcewiczella candida 'Oside's Sweet' x Kfz. Ash Trees 'Stunning')
This line of breeding is aimed at producing miniature, everblooming orchids that are exceptionally easy to grow. Warzcewiczellas (or Cochleanthes, as they were formerly known) are mostly South American plants that grow quickly and vigorously in intermediate conditions with plenty of water. Because they come from areas close to the equator with a minimum of seasonality, they can bloom any time of the year. Here we've used Kefersteinia, a genus of small-statured twig epiphytes in the same alliance, to miniaturize the hybrids and make the flowers more regular in form. Kefericzella (Kfz.) Ash Trees 'Stunning' is rarely out of flower, and has been in continuous bloom for more than two years. In this hybrid, expect small greenish-white flowers with red or blue lips on miniature plants that will bloom all the time when they are mature. An added bonus is the delightful, light, sweet fragrance from W. candida, which seems to have carried through to the seedlings that have bloomed so far. This is a new avenue in breeding, and we are really excited about it! Check out this First bloom picture 8015

Kefericzella New Hybrid
(Cochleanthes (Warscewiczella) discolor 'O'side' x Kfz. Ash Trees 'Stunning' )
Miniature? Blue? Everblooming? Checks to all three! This should be a fantastic cross, with little plants always in bloom with beautiful blue flowers. Following the success of Kfz. Gary Krause, we are hoping for more of the same in this hybrid. Wars. discolor tends to produce the darkest blues of any plant in this alliance, based on breeding trends from older crosses, and this second-generation Kfz. should have all the great parts of both parents. These plants are exceptionally easy to grow in the home, with lots of water, and will produce flowers constantly when mature.

Pescoranthes New Hybrid
(Pescatoria cerina 'Oside' x Psnth. Star Sapphire 'December')
We are very excited about using Psnth. Star Sapphire, which is the best of the early hybrids with Pescatoria lehmannii as a parent. This species seems to be magic, making big blue flowers with exceptional shape. Here, crossed with the beautifully round, full Pes. cerina 'Oceanside', we are expecting big flowers on big plants that will be most impressive. Interestingly, Pes. cerina tends to breed reds and pinks, so this cross should expand the color range of Pescoranthes significantly. Again, these are very easy to grow in intermediate conditions, and do great in the home with shade and lots of water.

Ansellia |
SVO 9537
( Aslla. gigantea 'Nelspruit' x Aslla. gigantea 'Dark Warrior')
'Nelspruit' is also a new addition from Afri-Orchids noted breeding lines; it has an outstanding flower count, heavily branched inflorescences and flowers with nearly solid color, with just a little yellow showing through. Of special note is the dark color on the side of the lip, which is rare in Ansellias. Could 'Nelspruit' be the key to unlock and develop sold dark flower color? 'Dark Warrior' has massive flowers, wide segments and coalescing boldly colored spotting with a branching upright inflorescence. This pairing is targeting for nearly solid dark colored flowers, and lots of them!

Vanda Alliance |
J187
(Ascf. Kaori 'Pink Beauty' x Asctm. ampullaceum)
Super cute pink flowers. These small growing plants are blooming size in 3” pots! The breeding of the grex is made up of: Ascf. Kaori whose ancestors are (Neo. falcata x Ascf. Cherry Blossom) and the parents of Ascf. Cherry Blossom are (Neo. falcata x Asctm. ampullaceum). The considerable influence of Neo. falcata makes for easy growth and the ampullaceum gives its good color and shape. A great combination and easy to grow and flower.
