Paphiopedilum Modern Complex HybridsWoodstream Orchids is pleased to be offer a terrific selection of high potential complex sttandard paphiopedilu hybrids. This is the new golden age for complex Paphiopedilum hybrids. After more than a decade the standard complex Paph hybrids are seeing a huge 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!

Please note the crosses marked with "PA" before the number come from the innovative breeding lines of Barry Fraser's Papa Aroha Orchids! 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!
