(Right) B. Hatos - This
picture taken mid May. The plants are clusters of Dendrobium pierardii 'Memoria Katherine Hatos' One single flowering cane received an HCC/AOS at the 'Redland' Show in 1999.My mother
walked me into woods near my home in Washington D.C. when I was 7 or 8 years old, in search of a Special Flower, the 'Lady Slipper' We found one and I was amazed! For this and many other reasons
I named this plant in memory of her. I purchased the plant from Fred Fuchs approximately 15 years ago, these 'Pendant' type Dendrobiums were some of Fred's favorite Orchids. This late blooming
clone, has canes that reach 7 feet in length! If the WildCatt data base is correct, this is the first time a pierardii has received a flower award. |

(Above) J. Godfrey - Lycaste macrobulbon blooming for me for the first time all from one pseudebulb. Another purchase from the
Redland Festival (Orquifollajes Ltda. - Colombia). This plant has beautiful foliage (it's deciduous) and the flowers are fragrant. However, the flowers this time were smaller than previously
awarded clones. |
