C. lawrenceana f. flamea (C. lawrenceana f. flamea 'Ed Merkle' x self)
Thanks to Ed Merkle for making and sharing a seed capsule from his exceptional plant of C. lawrenceana f. flamea. The protocorms were treated with oryzalin (t), a chemical used to increase chromosome count and improve the possibility that some of these will be tetraploid.

B. perrinii (B. perrinii 'SVO 18' x B. perrinii 'Ruben')
B. perrinii 'Ruben' flowers with 25 blooms on a single stem, and 'SVO 18' carries up to 18 flowers. These plants are siblings, and both have exceptionally high flower counts, considering that this species usually blooms with 8-9 flowers per stem. When unusually high flower counts appear, it is often best to self the plant. In this case, we made a sibling cross, since 'SVO 18' had significantly better shape and a large lip (unfortunately I did not take a picture of 'SVO 18'). These are excellent when grown mounted or in hanging baskets. They grow well in the heat and humidity of summer and prefer to keep their roots dryer in winter. A must-have for you Brassavola collectors! These have been treated with oryzalin (t) to increase the potential for higher ploidy to the offspring.

C. labiata f. semi-alba (C. labiata f. s/a 'Select #1' x C. labiata f. s/a 'Select #2')
The semi-alba color form has white flowers with colored lips. We found this grex offered at Cal Orchid as as a sibling cross of C. labiata 'Serenity' and 'Bom Dia', both excellent parents. Here we have crossed our two best selections and are looking for outstanding flowers in this classic and highly desirable semi-alba color form. VERY LIMITED

C. warneri f. alba (C. warneri f. alba 'Claire' AM/AOS x C. warneri f. alba 'Newberry' AM/AOS)
The parents are outstanding and represent the best quality available today in the alba form of this species. Here is a great opportunity to possibly get a tetraploid warneri alba, as the protocorms were treated with oryzalin (t) to improve that possibility.

L. anceps (L. anceps 'SanBar Gloriosa' FCC/AOS x L. anceps 'South Africa')
We have tried for years to set a capsule on the magnificent 'SanBar Gloriosa', and when we finally succeeded, the pollen parent was one of our best anceps. 'South Africa' has flower with excellent shape, and the large bloom size makes this even better! Expect 50% of the progeny to exhibit the f. lineata flower type.  These have huge potential to be spectacular.

L. anceps (L. anceps 'Helen' HCC/AOS x L. anceps f. petaloid 'Jody')
Petaloid anceps are 'hot property'!  This grex combines the proven breeding characteristics of 'Helen' with 'Jody', the best of the petaloid types. Color will range from light pink to white, and about 50% of the progeny will express the petaloid form and produce 3-4 flowers. Very collectable.

B. appendiculata (B. appendiculata (cucullata) 'Select' x self)
For years, B. appendiculata has been labeled in most collections as B. cucullata. Brassavola appendiculata usually has 3-4 flowers, whereas cucullata carries one and rarely two flowers per stem. Flower shape is similar, though appendiculata has longer sepals and petals. These are perfect for mounting or baskets.
