I Grow Paphiopedilums sect. Coryopedilum

These are multifloral, Asiatic lady-slipper orchids.  The species in this section of the genus are adductum, anitum, randsii, praestans (its six much disputed varieties: glanduliferum, gardineri, bodegomii, kimballianum, striatum, and wilhelminiae), supardii, philippinense (syns. laevigatum, palawanense, roebelinii, and roebelinii cannartianum, the last being a form with a bifid synsepal), stonei (its three varieties: acrosepalum, platytaenium, a peloric form, and x-latifolium, an integrade with kolopakingii), kolopakingii (var. giganteum syn. topperi), rothschildianum (syns. elliottianum and neo-guiniense), sanderianum, ooii, intaniae, and gigantifolium syn. ayubii.

I Grow Cattleya-alliance Species

These are the ancestral stock plants from which the modern day hybrid corsage orchids have been bred.  Most of my plants  are unifoliate cattleyas, with preference for the heirloom clones.  But I make room for some bifoliates as well as allied South American genera such as Laelia and Brassavola.  Who could resist Laelia purpurata or Rhyncholaelia digbyana?

My collection is quite specialized, as suggested here.  Of the 36,000 species of orchids, I grow perhaps 50 or 60. Orchidists are invited to write to me if they care to exchange divisions or if they need pollen for their breeding programs.
