We are putting a lot of energy into new photos for our website, though, and 2009 will have the most new photos posted for any year since we developed the website. If you must have some color printed material, for a limited time we can mail you a collection of some of our best color pages for $5.00. These color pages are already “collector’s items”. Also, some of you may not be aware of Jay Pfahl’s excellent website; the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia – a priceless resource, you can see photos of thousands of orchid species there. This List is only a partial listing of all the species that will become available this year. Please check our website frequently to see all the latest species as they are added. The website also has “special offers”. Our lab operation is looking great - and there are hundreds of exciting species yet to be offered. You can help us save time by ordering on-line. Or please call us Toll-Free at (866) 572-8569. You may also fax your order form to us at (808) 572-8917.

The valleys are stripped of theirprimitive vegetation, since it is on the giantsof the forest and particularly on the highestbranches of some of them where somespecies of Cattleyas dwell, specially themany forms of Cattleya gaskelliana. Inorder to obtain the best plants, these treesare felled and from the harvest, only the bestplants are taken…” (the writings of the greatCarlo Aulisi in ‘Monograph of theVenezuelan Cattleyas’) This select varietyhas big showy flowers with lilac sepals andpetals and a beautiful lip with areas of white,yellow and lavender. ‘Mosca’ refers to asmall dark purple touch of color in thecenter. 3.50” pot $18.00

Epiphyte in the topsof large trees (sometimes lithophytic in thehigher elevations.) The history of this orchidis very rich; An English naturalist namedWilliam Swainson traveled extensivelythrough the Amazon Basin in 1818 collectingshells, insects, minerals and plants. Hedeparted Brazil taking his collections toEngland in wooden boxes. Among thematerial delivered to Professor Hooker,Director of the Kew Botanic Gardens, weresome tiny plants growing on pieces oflichen-covered tree branches. Dr. Lindleysuspected that they were orchids and triedto grow them. In 1821 the first flowersopened in the Kew greenhouses, causing asensation because of their vivid color andlarge size. From these flowers, Lindleycreated the new genus Cattleya, and thenew species labiata, referring to the largelip. The plants were exhibited by theLinnaean Society and were considered byhobbyists to be the most beautiful orchidknown up until then. (‘Cattleya labiataautumnalis’ by L.C.

TOF2320 Cattleya labiata var. semi-alba ‘IV’ x‘Cassola’.Photo. Brazil. This is actually a selfing of‘IV’ x ‘Cassola’ – pictures are to be found onthe internet.

Lindley described itfrom their herbarium specimen in 1831. Itwas refound by Hartweg in 1842, and livingplants were sent back to England.

Very fragrant. “A hardwood copse ofstunted trees lies above, precariouslyperched over the precipice of the river inwhich Cattleya schilleriana is found. Thecablocos know these copses and how toscale the walls to gain entry into them, eitherfrom above by ropes or below by hand holdsin the rocks and roots. Surface seepagesfrom above, waterfalls in rivulets, andproximity of the river below maintain thehumidity in the driest season, isolating anecological niche, where time has stood stillso to speak, and allowed the survival of thiscurious species.” (Fowlie, 1977)Small plants in 3.00" pot $12.00

In our nursery,we no longer observe a “resting period” –plants stay under the same watering andfeeding all year.
