Cymbidium parents we use with names from T - Z

This page presents a summary of our cymbidium and other outdoor growing breeding plants which we are currently using in our hybridizing program. These are used for breeding and display only and divisions are generally not for sale. Photographs of many of the plants are included with two image sizes: a thumbnail which is automatically displayed with the plant description, and links to a full sized image. Click on the thumbnail to see the full sized image. If there is no link to a photo at the end of the descriptive text, we do not have a reference photograph of that plant available at this time. Photographs will be added as they become available.

We try to include the important characteristics of each plant and what we expect it to produce as a parent. Plant size is indicated by Lar, Med, or Sm for large, medium or small, type of plant is indicated by Std, Nov or Min for standard, novelty or miniature cymbidium, bloom season is the primary month of bloom in coastal Southern California and ploidy is shown as 2N, 3N, 4N or 6N, or with ? if uncertain. Novelty plants have a miniature parent in the background, and the miniature parent and generation is indicated by P, E, D, C, S, M, O for pumilum (floribundum), ensifolium, devonianum, canaliculatum, sinense (hoosai), madidum or other. The number after the letter indicates first, second, etc. generation for the miniature species in the background.

The list of parents is divided into five separate sections, A - F, G - L, M - P, Q - S and T - Z. Links to each are provided in the sidebar. Again, the plants pictured are generally not for sale. Enjoy!

Cym. Tapestry 'Zita' 4N is a 4.5 inch round dark rusty red flower. We have used it for some breeding with other dark red tetraploids and expect plants with color in the red to brown shades. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Cym. Tethys 'Black Magic' is a famous old wine red breeder that has a good deal of darker spotting under the main color. This has been one of the few plants to almost always have some spotted plants in its offspring. We still occasionally use this for breeding spotted flowers. Std, Med, Mar, 2N

Tracey Reddaway 'Geyserland' is a bright vibrant yellow with a bright red banded lip and up to 15 4.5 inch flowers on an upright spike. It has been used for a number of yellow crosses, and is a proven parent for yellows. Std, Lar, Feb, 4N

Cym. Trigo Royale 'Canary' is a light yellow 4 inch early blooming flower, with up to 16 flowers on a 3 foot spike and two spikes on a bulb. We use this occasionally for breeding early yellows. Std, Med, Dec, 4N

Cym. Tweedle Dee '18 Caret' is a bright yellow 4.25 inch round flower with up to 15 flowers on a 3.5 foot upright stem. We are using this for yellow pot plant breeding. Std, Med, Apr, 4N

Cym. Valley Flower 'Cherry Ripe' is a good round clear pink 4.5 inch flower. We have used it for several nice pink hybrids. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Valley Oracle 'Kermit' is a non-staining bright green round 4.5 inch flower with a bright red banded lip. It can have up to 14 flowers on a medium arching spike. We think it will be a good green parent. Std, Med-Sm, Dec-Jan, 4N

Valley Splash 'Awesome' is an unusual patterned 4.5 inch flower with up to 12 flowers on an arching spike that has bred some very striking patterned flowers in Australia. We are using it with several of our patterned parents to enhance the patterning.

Valley Zenith 'Emerald' is a dark green non staining 4.5 inch round flower with up to 16 flowers on a long spike. This should be a good green parent. Std, Lar, Mar, 4N

Valley Zenith 'Erin Spring' is another dark green non staining 4.5 inch round flower with up to 16 flowers well spaced and presented on a long spike. This should be a good green parent also. Std, Lar, Mar, 4N

Cym. Via del Playa 'Pinkie' B/CSA is a nice clear pink round 4 inch flower with up to 14 flowers on a 3 foot spike and often has 2 spikes on a bulb. We haven't used this much due to the relatively small flower size, but the hybrids with this as a parent have been nice clear round pinks. Std, Med, Feb, 4N

Cym. Vieux Rose 'Dell Park' FCC/RHS HCC/AOS is a famous old parent which is still valuable for breeding. It has up to 25 veined pink 4 inch flowers with big, bold spotted lips on a 5 foot spike. Std, Lar, Apr, 4N

Vogelsang 'Eastborne' 4N is an interesting novelty parent that can breed both spots and high color flowers. It usually produces an arching to pendant spike, depending on the spike habit of the other parent. It can have as many as 30 2 inch flowers on the spike. Nov, Med, Apr, 4N D1

Wacky 'Loco' is another of our sepal peloric plants. The flower is about 3.5 inches across with 13 flowes on the spike. This should produce about half peloric offspring based on our experience with this line of breeding. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Wallacia 'Burnt Gold' is a striking golden yellow orange flower with red flares on the sepals and petals. This flared characteristic often comes through in its offspring and it makes some striking hybrids. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Cym. Warona 'Copper' is a compact very bright red round 4 inch flower with 12 flowers on a 3 foot spike. This has given us some good bright colored crosses for pot plants. Std, Sm, Mar, 2N

Cym. Woody Wilson 'Ann' HCC/AOS S/CSA is a very round, full 5.5 inch ivory white flower with up to 13 flowers on a 3 foot spike. We are using this with hope of producing large award quality whites. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Cym. Woody Wilson 'The King' is a very round, full 5.5 inch ivory white flower with up to 12 flowers on a 3 foot spike. We are using this with hope of producing large award quality whites. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Cym. Wyandotte 'Orange Queen' is a 4 inch orange flower with darker orange veining and up to 16 flowers on an upright 3 foot spike. We have used this with several other oranges , but haven't seen the results yet. Std, Med, Apr, 4N

Yamanashi Fire 'Burgundy'is a dark burgundy red flower on an upright spike with up to 15 4.5 inch flowers. It often produces two spikes on a bulb, and flowers every year. We think this will be one of our better red parents in the future. Std, Lar, Apr, 4N

Cym. Yowie Flame 'Geyserland' HCC/AOS is an intense dark wine red 4 inch flower with up to 15 flowers on a 3 foot stem. This has bred a number of good reds, and we are using it to improve the quality of reds. Std, Med, Mar, 4N

Cym. Zippadedoda 'Touch of Gold' B/CSA is the brightest yellow and the heaviest substance we have, with up to 16 5.25 inch round flowers on a 3.5 foot stem. We are using this with the hopes of getting award quality bright yellows for exhibition and pot plants. Std, Med, Apr, 4N
