A short list of collector's items that may not be in bloom, but are available to the discerning enthusiast; all are blooming size, most have bloomed already, not all seen by me or us.
Last updated 8 November 2008 - come back soon, as various things go out of bloom all the time or are acquired as extras, and as new photos go up linked to this and our other pages.
A note on the photographs: all are copyright Carson Barnes, usable by permission; high quality photo prints are available of many seen here, and many more not seen. Prices for archival prints start at $50.00. Inquire.
Paph. Bel Royal (rothschildianum x
kolopakingii var. gigantea) - $100 - three foot + leaf span
Paph. Ken Ichi Takaya (philippinense x supardii) - a very rare cross, large blooming size, $65
Paph. Marilyn Hanson (stonei x delenatii) big plants in 6" pots $50
Miltonia Anne Warne 'Abe' AM/AOS - a couple of multiple lead divisions of this Japanese clone of the well known warm growing Brazilian Miltonia hybrid; $50.
DISA - just a few, see this and this.
Paphiopedilum Quasar (Macabre x rothschildianum) - dark multiflorals, 6" $55
Vanda Chill Out ([tessellata x denisoniana] x javierae) - 4" blooming size $35 - we made this one
Paphiopedilum (kolopakingii x Pinocchio) - a handsome multifloral, will get rather large - blooming size plants $50.
Paphiopedilum charlesworthii - we make divisions of our selected, unshown plants from time to time; $45.
Cymbidiella pardalina syn. rhodocheila - near blooming size 5" pots, just one or two. $65.
Paphiopedilum (charlesworthii x philippinense) - not named yet, we've obtained permission to do so. Generally three flowers on a stem; gorgeous. $55.
Paphiopedilum tonsum 'var. curtisiifolium' - not a botanical variety, coppery flowers with red under the leaves; Liem Khe Wie exported these in the 1980s and we got one. Divisions available occasionally; $45.
Paphiopedilum sukhakulii some nice ones, $30
Phragmipediums - long tailed ones - Kew now tells me it's Ph. popowii, though their "monocot checklist" says that is not a valid name. For years, we've called it caudatum from Guatemala. We have some small divisions, they bloom in 4" pots, usually 1 or 2 flowers, tails around 20 inches long. We also have some "wallisii" whose name is constantly changing, similar but pale colors, and from Colombia, one available.
Masdevallia veitchiana 'Prince de Gaulle' AM/AOS $50
Trichoglottis brachiata - eventually a tall vining Vanda relative, quite spicy fragrance, one flower per leaf axil; a few young but bloomed plants $40.
Phrag. Sedenii, small division of this one. $35.
Paph. hirsutissimum - divisions of our selected one - $65
Paphiopedilum Lady Isabel - sorry no photo yet - (stonei x rothschildianum) - $45 large blooming size
Paph. rothschildianum ('Charles E.' x 'Borneo') $100
Paph Woluwense (niveum x rothschildianum) $45
A number of handsome Vanda hybrids in 6" pots, $25
Bromeliads are ready from time to time; mostly speckly (and prickly!) Billbergias, tiny to large Tillandsias and a few others; inquire as to pricing.
