I will be giving a talk on the topic of flasking to The Niagara Region Orchid Society on Jan 9th. Look forward to seeing you there. Holy Rosary Church Hall (rear entrance), 35 Queen St S, Thorold, Ontario.

This nodosa beats all AOS awarded nodosas in natural spread for width and length. Too bad it will not be in bloom for judging. She has a lot of spots too! We made a couple crosses with it.

First lueddemanniana of the year. These are large colourful flowers that keiki often and make fabulous species plants.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the seedpods are so delightful. And since we’ve no place to go Let ’em grow, let ’em grow, let ’em grow

We have been busy creating the next generation of phals. Numerous select species have been crossed to create numerous new primaries and straight species. Many of our friends and customers have taken advantage of our free flasking services. Please do not hesitate to inquire about flasking or to ask advice about breeding.  

The subject of our talk is Why Phalaenopsis don’t come from Walmart. An exploration of the Phal. Species.  Of Course Phals are close to our heart and we are really excited about sharing that passion with others. Details can be found on LOS  hope to see you all there. We have updated our plant list for this ...

These flowers are tiny but very cute and scented. This is an easy to grow species than can be grown along side Phals. We are trying to cross them with Phal pulcherrima var coerulea and a deliciosa var. alba.

What does an orchid nut do on vacation in Mexico? Well he hunt’s for orchids of course. Our resort had a small area dedicated to orchids grown on trees but we were also able to find some in situ. in situ in situ

I know they should technically be called capsule but pods sounds cooler. A couple new primaries and a species I’ve never flasked that a friend gave me. Anyone got experience with Chysis?
