Well spring is now fully here the canola has lost its flowers and seeds are ripening. We had a great flowering season here and we had a few nice surprises, the 2nd pic is Dendrobium speciosum 'Georges River Special' first time its flower for me and yes it is as good as they say, a lovely big flower and highly fragrant. the 3rd pic is Dendrobium Aussie Jester a hybrid between Den,. Autumn and Den. Jesmond Sparkler, I got this baby from AON, a very nice good sized flower with nice straight spikes and the flowers opened fully, the last pic is my favourite, I grow a lot of Dendrobium speciosum Grandiflorums and for that matter speciosums in general, they grow extremely well but the grandis seldom flower, I don't grow them in hot houses just an open bush house, with a winter roof or under a tree canopy, I think our harsh winters definately dont help, but I keep trying. Well this year I had 3 flower, 2 of the Den. spec. Katrina Remakes as per the 4th pic and a Den. spec. Creek Aureum x Katrina, which is sensational, so never lose hope the wait is definately worth it.

Just to let you all know when I say we grow cool growing orchids we really do. This snow fall was in the Brindabella ranges over the long weekend, just 50kms from where most our orchids are grown. We don't grow in hot houses, we pick our orchids to grow in these conditions, our orchids grow a bit slower and are grown in bush houses that have a clear roof over the winter period, the sides are left open so the mist and fog can blow through the house making for ideal condition for native hybrids and a few exotics to grow, these orchids are tough as blazes and guaranteed to delight

I will be present and selling with the Orchid Society of Canberra at the Horticultural Society's Autumn Flower Show at the Coorong Building at EPIC on 1-2 March 2025. Society members will be selling orchids, and I'm told there will be plenty of Aussies natives, cymbidiums, phalaenopsis, bulbophyllums, paphiopedilums and miscellaneous others. It's a great opportunity to buy quality orchids in Canberra, hope to see you there. To welcome in Autumn there will be a 10% OFF all items in the online store over this weekend 1st March to the 2nd of March, this offer cant be combined with any other offer.

My passion is for cool growing Australian Native Hybrids Orchids. Developed over the last 70 or so years by enthusiast and experts alike. The beauty the explosion of colour and the shear excitement after buying a seedling at the local show and you find you've got yourself a beauty when it flowers.

Keep your eye out for our Laelia/Cattleya specials throughout the year. At Brindabella Orchids we have a very nice collection of cool growing species...
