Paphiopedilum Modern Complex Hybrids"You have the best complex Paph hybrids in the United States at this time!".... that is what a world-renowned Paph grower and breeder told us at the Huntington Orchid Symposium in San Marino, California in June, 2009. To be sure there are a few other hybridizers of note working on complex Paphs in the US, and we appreciate being listed among them. Woodstream Orchids is pleased to be offer a terrific selection of high potential complex standard Paphiopedilum hybrids. This is the new golden age for complex Paphiopedilum hybrids. After more than two decades the standard complex Paph hybrids are seeing a resurgence in popularity. No wonder... new emerging breeding lines have been bringing spectacular results and treasured cultivars!!! We will be offering an increasing number of new line complex crosses, as well as exciting novelty combinations between complex hybrids and species. These offerings will whet your appetite! It takes a while to get these seedlings up to blooming size, but we have done much of the waiting for you! If we had our way, we would keep them all! Prime time blooming season for these exceptional flowers is December through April. During this period we have many plants coming into flower on our breeding and sales benches. Blooming plants are generally $25-35. First bloom seedlings and divisions with very good quality may go for $50-$500 or more. Consequently, purchasing seedlings 2-3 years from blooming may not be a bad idea. Often when a cross is blooming out and receiving awards, the seedlings from the cross may have already been sold and there may not be additional seedlings for sale. Do not forget to visit our Select Divisions for the Conniseur page by clicking the Papa Aroha Paphs button. These divisions are available on a first come first serve basis. Please note the crosses below marked with "PA" before are original hybrids from the innovative breeding lines of Barry Fraser's Papa Aroha Orchids! These are becoming very limited, so please do not wait to order them. Barry Fraser retired in 2005, and Woodstream Orchids has purchased the significant portion of his elite breeding stock and thousands of seedlings. Look below for many new offerings!
