Fellow Paph Lovers: The following plants are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Most are very limited as to the number of divisions of any one cultivar. Prices listed are per division, not per growth. A standard division will have at least one mature bloomed or un-bloomed growth and may have a new start or maturing new growth. I will make price adjustments accordingly, downward on faded or very small growths or upward on multi-growth plants. All divisions will have vigorous healthy roots. Exact division size and price can be discussed with me by telephone and you may then decide about purchasing or reserving a piece. I will be glad to place your name on a waiting list for divisions not currently available. Prices are subject to change without prior notice, and are subject to availability. There are no discounts on divisions. If you are not 100% satisfied when you receive your order, please notify us within 48 hours.

The darkest and the highest awarded of the various Peachies… nearly 6cm wide petals and 11cm wide dorsal sepal. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Peachie ‘Magic Flame’ AM/AOS (Hellas x Betty Bracey)– $150
Similar to ‘Madiera’ but not quite as large. This is, however, the clone that I have used most often to breed with because it is not only very fine but has phenomenal plant vigor. I am seeing wonderful quality in its first blooming offspring.
Peachie ‘Via Anna Cappa’ B/CSA (Hellas x Betty Bracey)– $125
A little larger than ‘Magic Flame’ but not as good a grower. Very good color and the biggest of the Peachie’s.

Tree of Beauty ‘Val’ AM/AOS (Red Vale x Winston Churchill)– $400
The best of all of the awarded Tree of Beauty cultivars, ‘Val’ had 6cm wide petals and beautiful balance of form. Its parents are both exceptional breeders in their own right, and this combination should prove exceptional as well.

Very rare! A monster red. Looks very different than ‘China Doll’. Basically red overall with a white dorsal halo. Petals approach nearly 7cm in width!

Recently awarded its AM, this is one of the loveliest delenatii hybrids I know of. It has soft pastel raspberry tone in the dorsal and petal edges with darker raspberry spotting over the main petals. Pouch is pastel pink. The Darlings will breed very reluctantly and hold promise for a new look in pinks down the road.
Darling ‘Genevieve’ AM/RHS (Madame Martinet x lawrencianum)– $100
Similar to ‘Christiane’ but darker pink tones throughout. Should take an award in our system one day.

As good as William Matthews ‘Quist’ AM. ‘Knobcreek’ has fine color and form on a strong stem and lasts 3-4 months in bloom and it blooms yearound!

The name says it all… big, impressive flowers with exceptionally flat flower form!

This is a variety of chamberlainianum that is rarely seen and even more rarely offered. It is from a pre-CITES importation and has the darkest color of this species I have ever seen.
