Phragmipedium Acker’s Fu Manchu
(Twilight ‘Rising Rocket’ 4N AM/AOS x caudatum)

Phragmipedium China Dragon
(Grande ‘Vista’ 4N x besseae ‘Cow Hollow II’ FCC/AOS)
My first offering of this hybrid was made using the tetraploid besseae and that was a very successful cross indeed. So far I have not seen even a remotely poor hybrid using the FCC besseae and that is why I used it this time. More than likely the FCC besseae will hold true in producing good color saturation in the progeny.

Phragmipedium Demetria

Here is your chance to get reacquainted with it. These are easy to raise from flask and quick to bloom as well!

Perhaps a yield of some sunset colors and very light pinks to near white. These are very small growing plants at maturity and tend to have branching stems. Flowers have impeccably fine round shape as well.

EXCLUSIVE OFFERING. Synonymous with my hybrid of CA400, I am looking to produce some of the first in very long petaled Phragmipediums having the besseae color influence. In this cross I feel color saturation will be more intense in using the species of warscewiczianum.

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.
