divisions/STUDS

Here we would like to showcase plants that are not only occasionally available by division, but also used in our own crosses that can be found from some of your favourite Paph sources. All prices are in US dollars and based on average division size. Price may go up or down depending on condition or number of growths at time of order, contact us for exact availability and pricing. CITES and phytosanitary documents are indeed available for compliant export around the world!

Paph. randsii 'Tessa'

This species is almost always disappointing and occasionally spectacular. We had the good fortune of receiving the spectacular 'Tessa' clone from a fellow Canuck and have since used it in many new unnamed crosses (still in the lab....).

Paph. supardii (several clones)

We love this species for its non-conformist petals (symmetrically asymmetrical) and especially what they do to long petalled hybrids with sanderianum influence. Whenever we can, we will cross this species, as well as gigantifolium, with sanderianum, Michael Koopowitz and other similar parents that need some spice in their petal stance.

Paph. stonei 'Zephyrus Red'

I had an early obsession with this species, and as a teenager saved up $96 for my very first orchid purchase from Ray Rands in the 1980s. I have grown a lot of stonei clones since then, and found the best flowers to come from the 'Maybrook' or 'Fernbrook' clones that tend to have broader, lighter green leaves similar to sanderianum.  This clone has been used many times in our breeding program!

Paph. kolopakingii 'Zephyrus'

If someone can explain to me the difference between this species and topperi, please email me! This clone is a prolific grower and loves our warm hot summers and lots of fertilizer to get those beautiful broad leaves.

Paph. adductum 'Zephyrus Red'

Sister species anitum often steals the spotlight with its black dorsal and blue-green leaves, however we still prefer adductum as it is dramatically easier to grow and bloom, and the better clones show almost vinicolor reticulation in the dorsal.

Paph. sangii

Still rare in collections, we found the trick to this species is to keep it cool and shady, we grow ours with Phrag. besseae. Divisions occasionally available, please inquire.

Paph. ciliolare

Closely related to superbiens, this is a classic species that  has become rare over the years. We have several cones we use for breeding.

Disa Species and Hybrids

We have been equally fascinated and frustrated by Disas for over 20 years and continue to experiment with their culture. Seedlings or divisions are occasionally available, please inquire.

Phrag. besseae 'Zephyrus Mega'

On par with 'Mega' from the Orchid Zone, flowers are huge, scarlet and round!

Paph. henryanum var. album 'Ghost Leopard' CHM/AOS

The first henryanum album awarded by the AOS (fall of 2013), the trademark henryanum spots are still faintly evident as darker green spots.
$1,000

Paph. philippinense var. album ‘Green Tea’ AM/AOS 

One of the best album varieties you may find, this is the large form of the species with 20cm+ petals, seen above with 7 flowers.
​$500

Paph. stonei f. luteo-album 'Hilo Lemon-n-Ice' CHM/AOS

 First blooming for us in July of 2015, this clone was used as the type specimen for the formal botanical description of this albino variety by Harold Koopowitz and Olaf Gruss in Orchid Digest 80-1, pp. 20-21 (Jan., Feb., Mar. 2016). At that time it had two flowers, however on its next bloom, pictured here, it produced three. Unlike many albinistic varieties, it seems to be a good grower, seemingly more prolific than the coloratum variety.

Paph. Black Diamond var. album

Very few crosses of fairrieanum album x delenatii album do in fact turn out album! No shades of pink anywhere on the flower or leaves. 
$300

Picture

Paph. volonteanum 'Skyscraper' HCC/AOS 

Fantastic green dorsal on a 60 cm stem!
$400
Picture

Paph. volonteanum 'Darth Vader' 

Selected from a large group of seedlings, this clone is incredible for its size, presentation and dark pink spoon-shaped petals (shown here on the far left with some of its inferior siblings....). Never shown for AOS judging!
$800

Paph. rothschildianum 'New Horizon' FCC/AOS

Since 1969, there have only been ~30 FCCs to this species. ‘New Horizon’ is one of the most recent, and had to be compared to all its predecessors prior to receiving this award. See chart below comparing ‘New Horizon’ to four of the best FCCs ever awarded (in my opinion). It is quite likely one of the best examples of this species in the world. This is one of two divisions that exist worldwide.

Phrag. besseae 'King of Peaches'

Crowned by Samantha herself from the Orchid Zone, its title is well earned with huge round flowers in the unusual salmon/peach tones. Not yet shown for AOS judging!
$1,000 
Picture

Phrag. kovachii 'Warbird'

Well held petals on an exceptionally vigorous, fast growing clone. Grown from flask and flowered multiple times under greenhouse conditions, this is among the first generation of 'easier-to grow' clones well suited to our standard mix of fir bark, charcoal and perlite. Occasionally topdressed with oystershell and silica sand.  
$1,000

Paph. micranthum 'Christopher' AM/AOS

Very colourful, large flowered example of this parvi species. Photo courtesy of Jay Norris.
$250

Phrag. besseae 'Mega'

In their own estimation, one of their very best besseaes, produced by the finest besseae breeders in the world - The Orchid Zone! An incredible investment to any breeding program looking to remake and dramatically improve the look of any hybrid, new or old. Photo courtesy of John Chant.
$4,000

Coelogyne salmonicolor 'Milan' HCC/AOS

Very unusual for the genus, these flowers are a soft peach-pink tone, produced in a cluster from the newly emerging growth. Pretty when not in flower, leaves also carry an orange tinge. Plant habit is tight and compact, with 4 or 5 bulbs easily fitting in to a 4" pot.
