2005 "Premier Orchid Connoisseurs Catalog Sale"

A fine and vigorous Transvaal - great expo plant,

Another fine clone - out of The Orchid Loft

13 + cm nat spread - a fine exposition plant

Auctioneer saw this with his own eyes - near BS plant with clear, distinct stripping on all the leaves! 1 of how many? How RARE? Who Knows

there are no bad Vanguards - this one is just better

among many awards and this one stands out - 19cm nat spread - a STUNNER

this award speaks for itself - 1 of only 11 awarded

one of only 11 awards - just behind Candor Rose Ribbons

not yet registered - take this to judging! High award potential on a good flowering.

this award was upgraded to an AM in the 80's Lots of flowers

85 pts! awarded here in Phila - none higher - just starting to show itself as a stud - Lyro Free Spirit

hasn't as yet been to judging - no awards to grex yet - maybe this one

very very few ever awarded

unusual hybrid - auctioneer hasn't seen too many - this one has great color - potential breeder?

Better than most of the awarded ones w/lots & lots of pink stripes

many of these awarded - few with this clarity of color - similar clone shown

a division of Dr Steven Faierheiller's fine clone awarded right here in Phila

rock crusher petals - off white background - dark stripes - great expo plant

good size and outstanding color

the white that started off the latest generation of white complex breeding - still fine.

interesting white complex - 1/4 Leeanum - take a look

A great W.W. Wilson X - FC Puddle in back ground - Klehm recently registered Snowram x Puddle - would be excellent for back crossing or exhibition

A classic complex x species. Early white breeding resulting in a very pleasant pink over Hellas' buff background.

most recent awarded clone - a classic complex paph - 11.6 nat sp - superior form - should breed

Others of this grex are awarded - no reason this won't be, it hasn't ever been seen. Did I mention that it's in bud!

You just don't see Hellas x's anymore. A great exhibition plant, would be interesting for backcross

delanati x Maudiae - who'd a thunk it? Take a look - pic doesn't do it justice

concolor x stonei - not what you'd think - pretty neat - pic doesn't do it justice - better color than it looks

chamberlianinum x stonei - only 1 ever awarded - similar clone shown - rare in the market

a post war Vacherot & Lecoufle hybrid - very rare This one has Rod McLellen provenance

a post war Vacherot & Lecoufle hybrid - very rare even though we have 2 today

purpurata x Clarrissa - the only one ever awarded - awesome color

rare, hard to come by species - marvelous color - seemingly never used in breeding - could be a rare opportunity - only 1 other clone recognized .

84 points nat sp 11.50 1996 - as good as they get

85 pts If I were going to start the next generation of tigrinums - this is where I would start - the highest scored tigrinum

79 pts In Nat Cap center - One of many out of Candor NY

as good as any awarded ones

from the same pot as the awarded ones

I suppose when you've had this many awarded you just start to number them. A top quality tigrinum.

85 points- an older award that stands up to today's standards -get out your AQ - it's better than the FCC

at 78 pts, the Orchid Loft clone is still as good as any out there today and it breeds - similar clone shown

consignor tells me that this is a great (just as yet unseen) clone-

the preferred clone by the breeders of the current generation of wardii - producing many awarded progeny and still will

83 pts at Nat Cap region - 1996 one of only a few rare AM's to this species

a great exhibition quality plant - consignor reports that it is a vigorous grower

a very desirable dark color form of this species, lime green & white

a division with W.W.Wilson provenance, likely from Sander - similar clone shown

a very rare color form - near alba - flavum - pic is a bit out of focus - doesn't do it justice

The classic FCC/RHS clone, What orchid auction would be complete without it ? In Flower as I type.

A late addition that the auctioneer couldn't say no to. The remarkable blood red calanthe from the EYOF. Small plant with new growths coming.
