EXCLUSIVE OFFERING: Here is another cross you won’t want to miss out on. The awarded Waunakee Wonder ‘High Point’ HCC/AOS produces flowers so large that it is often mistaken for a kovachii hybrid! In this cross I’m expecting to intensify the overall red color and bring the petals of the Waunakee Wonder to a more horizontal and full position, as well as reduce the ultimate size of the plant. The flowers will remain to be incredibly large and stems branching when mature.

These plants originate from my breeding program at the greenhouses of Orchids Garden Centre & Nursery, (formerly Orchids by the Ackers). Our establishment has been in the orchid business since 1963 and grows a wide variety of orchids from seed and tissue culture. Our main focus is to market orchid plants directly to the public from our 30,000 sq. ft. greenhouse range in Waunakee, WI. Orchids Garden Centre & Nursery now offers an online catalog however, many of the above items are only available through this web site of Flasks by Chuck Acker.
