New Sarcochilus hybrids
After being largely unavailable in the US for a long time, Sunset Valley Orchids (Fred Clarke) has released state of the art breeding over the last couple of years. I have splurged a bit, I had two blooming last spring, and most of the rest are just starting to come into bloom now.
These Aussie Vanda relatives want lower light and moderate to moderate/cool temperatures. In late fall/winter, reduce watering a little, and give them a bit higher light.
Here are 3 of the best ones so far. See photo tags for hybrid names. I will post more photos as they become available.
