A Sampling of Pauka'a Orchids Hybrids
Here is a sampling of some of the hybrids we have made and/or registered. Most of these are our own hybrids, although we did need to register a couple of plants because they were not registered and we had used them as parents in our own cross.
These are arranged in no particular order. At some point, we will list the crosses chronologically. Right now, we will just list the ones we can find photos for. We have lost photos for many plants due to a hard drive melt down, hopefully, we can locate more photos of the plants (in some cases, the plants have now also been lost due to various problems that have befallen us).
The photos are generally of the first to bloom and are not necessary of the best of the cross. For those that are still in cultivation, we may include better examples as we get time.

Some of you are probably chuckling, thinking "they can't even get the names right". Since the taxonomists seem to like playing musical chairs with genera now (when it really doesn't make much difference to us, horticulturally), I have decided, as a protest, to not kill myself to play catch up as it will probably be wrong six months from now anyway. If you have been in orchids any period of time, you know the plants. If not, good luck with our new era of perpetual name change.
