Over a meter long, the inflorsecence of this plant held 11 flowers high above our heads. The species is native to Madagascar. It has only been registered as a parent in two hybrids, one in 1917 and one in 1981.

This plant is a division of the Lc. John Mossman exhibited on the show table in April 2003. The plant retains its strong appeal, winning the Members’ Choice award two years in a row.

Grower: Katie Caldwell

This is a cross of Ascda. Jiraprapa by Ascda. Kenny Gold registered in 1999. Three of the four grandparents represent complex lines of Vanda/Ascocenda breeding. The fourth grandparent is V. denisoniana, which has contributed strongly to both the clear color and shape of the flower.

Growers: Bill and Betsy Scevola

The cross of Lc Colorama x C. Horace was registered as Lc Prism Palette in 1973. The clone ‘The Clown’ was awarded its HCC/AOS in Hawaii in 1981.

Grower: Jeanne Allen

A well grown plant with approximately 20 flowers. This is a hybrid of Blc Manu Akaka x Bc Daffodil. The cross has received two AOS awards, and those both were to the clone ‘Kadooka’ in 1981.

Its compact plant habbit, floriferousness and color have made this variety a desired parent. Eighty-eight crosses have been registered with this variety as a parent. It is a parent to well known offspring such as Blc Momlani Rainbow and Iwan. Appleblossum.

Grower: Monroe Kokin

This plant was exhibited under the name Onc. lindenii,which is not considered a valid species name today. The plant growth habit resembles Onc. sphacelatum and the flower shape is consistent with the sphacelatum group of Oncidiums. This group is confusing – at one time Onc. liebmannii was known as Onc. lindenii but now even Onc. liebmannii is know as Onc. suave. Various information sources provided different names for the plants listed here, the best choice we can make is not to try to name this species.

This was a vigorous plant with many inflorescenses up to two meters in length.

This clone received its AM/AOS award in 1984 in Long Beach California. It had previously received an HCC/AOS in Medellin, Columbia.The plant is a strong grower; two growers have received cultural awards with this clone – one with 19 flowers another with 24.

Growers: Barbara and Bob Wagner

A well grown plant with 2 inflorescences balanced on both sides of the plant. R. gigantea is native to Thailand and the Indochina area. In 1961, Rapee Sagakik writing in the AOS Bulletin, indicated that wild forms varied from pure white to pure amethyst-purple, with almost all being more or less spotted. Breeding of the selected solid color forms was often unpredictable, but eventually led to high percentages of solid colors. The ‘alba’ clone shown is a result of the breeding efforts to increase the availablity of the few naturally pure white clones.

Grower: Chris Simco

Bl. Morning Glory is a primary hybrid of B. nodosa and L. purpurata. The flower retains the shape of the B. nodosa, but the color and size of the L. purpurata. Like many nodosa hybrids, the color of the flower changes from dark to lighter as it ages.

The exhibited plant had five flowers and five buds.

Grower: Roberta Williams

Lc Gold Digger (Lc. Red Gold x C. Warpaint) is well known for its bright yellow and red colors and its ability to grow specimen plants. Seven of the nine AOS awards to this grex have been cultural awards. In 1997 a plant of the exhibited clone was shown in Coral Gables, Fl, with 168 flowers on 28 inflorescences. The exhibited plant had 13 flowers on five inflorescences.

Growers: Bill and Connie Timm

Four star shaped flowers and 2 buds on 2 inflorescences. This species was first described in 1822 and in 1862 Charles Darwin predicted it would be pollinated by a long-tongued hawk-moth based on the long spur of the flower. In 1902 Darwin’s prediction was confirmed.

The species is from Madagascar, growing from sea level to 100 ft.

One inflorescence with two yellow flowers with a red margin on the lip. The cross (Slc. Precious Stones x Sc. Beaufort) was registered in 1988. Thirty eight AOS awards, all HCC’s and AM’s, have been granted to the grex. Award flowers vary in color from red to yellow with various mixes of yellow, orange and red on the lip. The exhibited flower was larger than all but one of the awarded clones.
