Exciting! I've been resisting buying any orchids for a while but I cut loose when I got that email! Had to thin the order a little because I know the catasetinae are gonna drop at some point too...

i am jealous but i am looking forward to seeing them grow in both your cares.

with my first kid i went from "i buy what i want" to "i have an orchid budget". with the second kid i went to "i am glad i already have so many plants because i may never be able to buy another!" LOL

I send you some divisions in 5 years

Proud to say this is my first orchid purchase in 6 months! (except a restrepia I picked up at a local nursery for $7, that doesn't count right?)

For anyone interested:

Fred posted this to the mailing list before he put it on The website so if you search the website you won't find new availability yet. Here is the link:

Sunset Valley Orchids - Superior Hybrids for Orchid Enthusiasts

[estación seca]

I got one each of the semialba and alba C. warscewiczii. I got a L. tenebrosa to replace one eaten by rats. Also one each of the two Eplc. Magic Wand (Epc. Kyoguchi x Lc. Trick or Treat), an amazingly easy to grow and flower plant with loads of small flowers. I already have two of them from previous lists.

My Lc. Naranja En Flor from an earlier list is flowering for the first time. I'll post a photo elsewhere. This is an incredibly vigorous hybrid with flowers in a range of oranges. Mine is glowing burnt orange. There's another release of these in the current list.

He also is offering remakes of great older crosses using superior parents. Here are a few: L. Zip (tenebrosa x milleri); Lc. Miss Wonderful (Lc. Mari's Song x L. anceps); Lc. Magic Bell (C. loddigesii x Lc. Trick or Treat); Lc. Candy Corn (C. Dubiosa x Lc. Trick or Treat); C. Pittiae coerulea (C. loddigesii x C. schilleriana); C. Portia coerulea (C. labiata x C. bowringiana); L. Pacavia (L. tenebrosa x L. purpurata); Lc. Isfield (L. Pacavia x C. warscewiczii); C. Chongkolnee (C. Chocolate Drop x C. bowringiana); Blc. Cherry Suisse (Blc. Oconee x C. Chocolate Drop).

They're not on the regular site yet. Fred E-mailed the new release page link to his subscriber list. LouisW posted the link above I think.

Since the new list dropped on my birthday, I got a bit carried away...

- C. warscewiczii f. alba (C. warscewiczii f. alba 'Kathleen' AM/AOS x C. warscewiczii f. alba 'Leo Holguin' FCC/AOS)
- C. warscewiczii f. semi-alba (C. warscewiczii f. s/a 'SVO' HCC/AOS x C. warscewiczii f. s/a 'Kathleen')
- L. tenebrosa (L. tenebrosa 'SVO Vinicolor' x L. tenebrosa 'Windflower' AM/AOS)
- C. Lawre-Mossiae (C. mossiae 'SVO Superb' 4n x C. lawrenceana 'SVO 9')
- C. Portia (C. labiata f. coerulea 'A ' x C. bowringiana f. coerulea 'Blue Angel' HCC/AOS)
- Lc. NEW HYBRID(L. alaorii 'SVO II' x C. luteola 'Yes a 4n')
- C. NEW HYBRID (C. Princesse Clementine 'SVO' AM/AOS x C. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

It's great that he had many primary hybrid remakes this year. I tend to like the look of species and primary hybrids over the "perfected (?)" modern hybrids.
