New Items

[tomkalina]

Hi All,

We've listed two new items on the Fox Valley Orchids website. First, a selfing of Eron Bourne's Phrag. sargentianum 'Really Red' ; arguably the best sargentianum flower anyone's ever seen in terms of color. Potent breeding material for anyone interested in remaking the classic Phrag. besseae primary hybrids. Seedlings have 4-5" leaf spans.

The second item is a division of our Phrag. besseae 'Fox Valley' FCC/AOS stud plant. It's a two growth (0-1-1) division that should bloom in season. It's not been offered before in the U.S. and should be an attractive acquisition for the connoisseur Phrag. collector/breeder. See detailed descriptions of both items at www.foxvalleyorchids.com.

Thanks - And hope everyone's having a great summer!

Nice!
Quick question Tom, when you list 0-1-1 does that mean it bloomed on the second and third growth?
Thanks.
GO CUBS!!

Jake,

This plant is the result of air layering one of two new growths emerging from the base of the Phrag. besseae 'Fox Valley' FCC/AOS mother plant, so the configuration is (0-1-1). The new growth that was air layered has itself become mature at 15" leaf span and has a new growth now emerging from it's base. Had we included the mother plant in the division, it would have been listed as (1-1-1) Go Cubbies indeed! This is our year!!!!

Not sure I understand, but I have noticed my bessea's new growth has been hard to control and get under the medium. I will have to look up air layering.

I think it is our year indeed! Playing solid baseball!

I just went to your website and can't find the division you
mentioned in your post. All I see is a seedling or two of
the Fox Valley.

Well, now I can't get the online catalog to load. I'm very
interested in that two growth division of Fox Valley Tom.

Hi Angela,

May have been a temporary hiccup of the website. Couldn't get the online catalog to come up this morning either, but it seems to be ok now on our desktop as well as my iPhone. Pls let me know if you're still having issues.
If there's still a problem, you can call me at 630-209-0836 and I'll take your information over the phone.

Tom

Tom,

I emailed you yesterday but it can't be delivered, I just called you and left a message. I'd like to get three of your paph hybrids if you still have them.

Thanks
