        2008 April Newsletter             2008 Spring Open House April 18th thru 27th, 2008

It's has been a busy 2008 spring at Orchids.com and Norman's Orchids. We have attended two international shows in March -- the 2008 Japan Grand Prix Orchid Show and the 2008 Taiwan International Orchid Show. Along the way, we visited top growers, kabitzed with top breeders and exchanged ideas with other commercial growers. Norman Fang helped organize the American Orchid Society judging contingent that traveled to Taiwan. The award quality they witnessed in Taiwan alone resulted in an astonishing 123 AOS Awards including six FCC's (First Class Certificates), three AQ's (Awards of Quality) and four CCE's (Certificates of Cultural Excellence).

We are excited about our spring offering. Please visit the "Selected Plant"  and "new release section" where you will find our exceptional offerings.
 

MC1140 Dtps. Purple Martin 'Champion'

Stunning fragrant lavender-blue flowers in a small package. This clone is the fusion of a violet parent with the cerulean blue form of violacea to produce its more compact spike of deliciously fragrant flowers. With Phal. violacea and Doritis pulcherrima in its background, it can flower from late spring into fall, often continuing to add buds well into the winter months. A truly compact grower, this multi-floral miniature produces 1" flowers in abundance on branching spikes, creating the ultimate in charming displays. Ideal for "under lights" and small space growing, it will easily fit into any size collection. Highly recommended.

MC1123 Dtps. Fusheng's Mystical Dream 'Come True'

A delightful combination of harlequin and splash-petal patterning and the perfect choice for those who love both ! The 3" white flowers are beautifully patterned with a pink blush, accent spotting from its famous Ever Spring Prince harlequin parent, and are dramatically finished with a dark burgundy splash-petal picotee around the entire flower. Heavy flower substance gives a long-lasting majestic presentation on tall spikes with each consistently patterned flower presented to its greatest advantage. As a unique new direction in splash-petal breeding, this clone is highly recommended. An orchids.com exclusive.
