| Marriott Orchids is a fine breeder of complex Paphiopedilums, with an emphasis on whites and pinks...also, select species and primaries. Below, one of the finest first bloom seedlings from our select breeding line. |

The cross is ( Inca x Porcelain Treasure ). The natural spread is 13cm, the petals were 5.1 wide and 6.8cm long, and the dorsal was 8.3cm wide. I consider it one of the finest white complex types that I have ever seen... even at the Orchid Zone. |
000425 I'll introduce the niveum I just got awarded last week. The niveum is from a third generation of my own breeding also. It started 18 years ago with two very round bloomed jungle niveums bred together by Bob Jones at Mt. Madonna Orchids. I got 13 seedlings and bred the best and fullest to a jungle plant with great natural spread and very flat. I then took the best and biggest of that cross, niveum "Marriott" and crossed it to a very round and full jungle niveum that I got from Dick Topper some years ago. Start to finish the process took a long time but this newly awarded niveum 'Marriott Quintessence' AM/AOS was worth the effort.You may post it on your site and the dimensions are listed below. |
