2023 Sunset Valley Orchids
Australian Dendrobium
Australian Dendrobiums, also known as Aussie Dens, are popular orchids that are native to Australia. These hybrids are prized for their hardiness and ability to thrive in a range of climates, including hot summers with temperatures ranging from 75 to 95+ degrees Fahrenheit and cool winters with temperatures of 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit at night. They are also known for their fragrant flowers and ability to re-bloom from old pseudobulbs, which can lead to impressive floral displays. Some Aussie Dens have been known to produce up to 15 inflorescences from a single pseudobulb over a period of five years.

Den. Easter Parade (Den. Mini Pearl x Den. speciokingianum)
This is a selfing of Den. Easter Parade ‘Lise’ AM/AOS. When awarded the plant had 368 flowers on 46 inflorescences! The flower petals are beautifully brushed in lavender. Here we are expecting the white flowers to be beautifully brushed in lavender. These are fast to mature plants with a compact growth habit standing less than 12” tall. These also have flowers that last 3-4 weeks an excellent trait for Aussie Dens!

Den. Ruben Colmenares 'Big Daddy' x Den. Victorian Regency 'Red Stripe'
The flowers of this Ruben Colmenares (Regal Gillieston x Hilda Poxon) are very large! they are produced on sturdy stems of 12-14 yellow-green flowers, deeply blushed with magenta that make a striking color combination. Victorian Regency (Jesmond Sparkler x Aussie Parade) have the classic shape influenced by tetragonum. The flowers are chunky in yellow with dark red stripes along the margins of the petals and sepals. These will be starry shaped flowers in yellow and red, they will be quick to mature and full-grown plants will stand at 10” tall.

[(Den. Sunny Vista x Dunokayla) 'Chunky Gold') x Den. Regal Gillieston 'SVO']
'Chunky Gold' has an amazing, large, full-shaped flower with a memorable golden color. Strong plants produce upright stems of 15 or more blooms. Regal Gillieston has a superb plant habit and beautiful light-yellow flowers with a blush of red and a solid red lip. I am expecting full 'chunky'-shaped flowers with great color and flower habit. Mature plants will be 12-14” tall.

Den Royal Vista (Den. Regal Gillieston 'SVO'x Den. speciosum 'Windermere' HCC/AOC)
Regal Gillieston has an excellent plant habit and lovely light-yellow flowers with a blush of red and a solid red lip. Den. speciosum 'Windermere' is considered by many Australians to be perhaps the best-breeding speciosum, as it allows color from the other parent to come through in the offspring. It's a great flower producer, with inflorescences that can carry 60 or more light yellow flowers per inflorescence. This type of breeding makes for great flower color and high bloom count. When speciosum is in the immediate background of a hybrid like this, plant size is a recessive trait. These will have a maximum height of 12-14” tall. I believe this is one of the most promising Aussie Dendrobium crosses, and already the seedlings are showing excellent vigor. A definite must-have!
