Blc Chunyeah 'Good Life' AM/AOS X C. loddigesii alba 'Mary-Margaret’s Sherpa'

Blc. Stephen Love 'Geyserland' x C. harrisoniana 'Volcano Queen' AM/AOS
- Stephen Love ‘Geyserland’ is of excellent form, with pale pastel pink tepals and a cream lip with a magenta disk, bred from Puppy Love ‘True Beauty.’ This cross is an attempt to emphasize the cream to yellow lip of C. harrisoniana, and continue the pastel pink shade of the tepals. $25

Bc. Groganiae ‘Mariposa Rosada’ x Blc. Pearl Harbor 'Orchidglade' AM/AOS
-Groganiae (loddigesii x digbyana) is a very old cross. This particular variety was made with exceptionally fine parents, and ‘Mariposa Rosada’ makes 2-3 flowers per stem. Crossed with Pearl Harbor (25% loddigesii), this should make excellent pinks with exceptional pale cream lips & of excellent substance. Limted $75

Gur. bowringiana 'Blue Smoke' x C.Claesiana 'Ugly Duckling'
- NFS, reference only

L. aurea (Syn. L rubescens v. aurea) x Lc. Ruth Carpenter 'Mothers Love' AM/AOS

Some of these may have darts of contrasting yellow or deep pink at the tips of the tepals, similar to Magic Bell. $20

C. Golden Wax 'Lonestar II' HCC/AOS x C Hawaiian Wedding Song 'Virgin'
- As above, but made with the shocking and clear yellow clone of Golden Wax. Colors will again be pastels, but expect more peaches and maybe even some yellows. Again, darts of yellow or orange on a background of white to pink are expected. $20
