Sunset Valley Orchids - Superior Hybrids for Orchid Enthusiasts

"Sunset Valley Orchids 2013 Aussie Dendrobium list





Hello news letter subscribers,



The long awaited Australian Dendrobiums list is now ready. Sunset Valley Orchids is leading the hybridizing effort of Aussie Dens in the USA. For many years we have been sourcing plant material from Australia's top breeders and have developed a superior collection of breeding stock. This season's focus has been on the development of the hottest trend, yellow flowers with red marking.



The Aussie Dendrobiums are hardy plants; they do well with summer day temperatures from 75-95 degrees and winter nights of 40-55 degrees. Sunset Valley Orchids has been trialing them all over the USA and we have received good customers reports from Florida, Virginia, New York, Oregon, Michigan, Oklahoma, and California.



One of the best features is the fragrant flowers that fill the growing area with a wonderful aroma. And also the plants re-flower from the old growths. On some plants I have seen pseudobulbs over a 5 year period produce up to 12 inflorescences! This re-flowering characteristic makes for the fast development of beautiful specimen plants, a nice feature as most Aussie Dens flower in late January, February and March, just in time for the Orchid Show season.



Why not give them a try? They are one of Australia's best kept secrets.

Hi Adam,
I have two king. that are non SVO. They were both purchased in the last year. The one bloomed last March and I fell in love with them. My first order with SVO, a couple of months ago added three. I grow in my home as a windowsill grower. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to have a greenhouse. Luckily I have great light exposure and lots of windows in those areas.
How about you?

I don't have any from SVO; I have few from Southwestern College in KS, a few that I got from friends in orchid swaps and a few that I've picked up here and there or while at shows. I grow in a greenhouse, I like that I can grow them under similar conditions as me cymbidiums; I could almost leave them outside year round here in Oregon...if not for deer, slugs and the mid-winter cold rains...

I received my order yesterday and was very pleased. I've been trawling ebay for Aussie dends for awhile but nothing struck my fancy. SVO has a passion for these dends and is taking the hybrids further. I ordered 2 along with a mini cat and Mr. Fred included a 3rd dend as a gift
what I got:
Dendrobium Telekon
Dendrobium Special Surprise
Dendrobium Regal Gillieston 'SVO' x Den. speciosum v. curvicaule 'Daylight Moon' FCC/AOC
Slc. Mango Spice
