We ship to all countries in the world except Mexico, Austria, Denmark, Canary Islands Spain, and Australia reluctantly which are still living in the primitive dark ages with respect to cooperatively allowing orchid flasks into these countries. Because of Trump's ever-changing trade wars there is sadly only a 50% chance any flasks order will make it through customs inspection in Germany.
|
For Brazil and Guadeloupe there is only a 50% chance a shipment will ever make it through their customs/extortions/thievery department. Everything sent to the Russian Federation is getting through customs nicely so far (a special thanks to orchid-lover Vladimir Putin). France is good, and in January this year a Frenchie carried 5 flasks from us in Florida inside his airplane luggage through French customs with no problem (one point for us froggies). Israel and Sweden are good. Italy is good again. For Greece we now have a 80% confidence factor that our package will arrive without complications. We can now ship again to Ukraine with no restrictions by the US Postal Office. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore remain good. There is a 50% chance that Thailand customs agents will open the sterile flasks, insert a dirty disgusting inspection stick (previously used to clean out their nose) into the agar thereby contaminating the flasks. Please note that we do not accept orders over the telephone.
Review our catalog below, list your selections in an email and then simply request a quote from HBI by email on the orchid flasks of your choice, we will include shipping charges in our response:

The Ghost Orchid, Polyrrhiza lindeni (old school name). HBI has been working on growing ghost orchids from seed for nearly 20 years ever since we first bought 3 ghost orchids flasks from Larry Evans. Larry did curating and flasking work for the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Selby once greenhoused the top premier specimens of this species. The ghost orchid parents used by Larry originated in the Fakahatchee Strand and were first bred by him many years before this species was designated as an endangered species. Fakahatchee ghost orchids with their longer frog- legs/tendrils and ghostly all-white flower surpass the truncated short-tendril inferior class lindeni green-flower ghost orchid pretenders named Dendrophylax sallei from Cuba and Dominican Republic in any competition and will always be the more valuable type of this vanishing species to own.
10 plants, size ranges from three year old sprouts to 1/2" long legs. $100. Out of Stock, we hope to perhaps produce one or two of these flasks per month in 2019.
20 plants, size ranges from two year old sprouts to 1/2" long legs. $190.
30 plants, size is one to two year old sprouts. $280. Out of Stock.
40 plants, size is one year old sprouts to 1/2" long legs. $370. We have one flask available today, see picture.
100 plants, size is one year old sprouts. $860.

Dendrophylax fawcetti. This long-tailed leafless orchid is native to the Cayman Islands found only in a 6 acre heavily-guarded portion within the Ironwood Forest in George Town. This species was named after William Fawcett in 1888. Click here for history. Some collectors will argue this species is more rare than the Dendrophylax lindeni. From our Private Collection.
10 plants with 1" to 1.5" long legs. $90
20 plants with 1" long legs. $165.

C. eldorado (Mt Ito x concolor (type 'XXX' x type var rubra)). We have had several requests over the past year for C eldorado but this species is very difficult to find in pure form anymore. Miami breeder Ernest Ivan has recently and graciously brought to us this cross. We hope to be offering this selection for purchase in 2019. Picture is the pod parent Mt Ito. This selection is in intermediate flasks. Make inquiry if interested, we may be able to work up one or two early flasks for you.

C. gaskelliana var coerulea (Mick's Flurry x (Baruta x self)). This cross will be our best attempt in 22 years at producing nice blue gaskelliana species.
10 plants 1" tall. $40
|
|
C. gaskellliana ((Drago x Alexis) x Peter Von Scholl). When we first offered this cross in flasks 6 years ago it was not well received by our customers for some reason we could never figure out, hence the reason we stopped selling this cross. It could be that Florida buyers were repulsed by Peter's very ugly death but people not local should have had no inhibitions about such ghastly tragedies. If you can look at these pictures and tell us what is not desirable with this cross we would greatly appreciate your input/opinion. We can now offer previously blooming 6"-8" pots of this selection starting at $200 if you are interested.
.

|
C. gaskelliana var alba White Walker. The flowers on this monster are 7.5" across.
This fast growing super-floriferous breeder grew to be much too heavy for one person to lift. We recently divided this plant into 4 divisions. Two of the 4 divisions are now for sale at $150 per division.

.
C. guttata var coerulea (Bahia x self). This blue lip variety is not often seen other than at a few Florida shows.

C. hardyana. On page 71 of Carl Withner's book The Cattleyas and their Relatives Volume 1 is the most most beautiful white petals/sepals semialba hardyana (which is a natural occuring hybrid between C. aurea and C. warscewiczii) that I have ever seen in all of orchid breeding. We have crossed our C. warscewiczii semialba Shahbanu with pollen from our C. dowiana var aurea Cahiz-Yrygoyen (from the OFE clan) in hopes of matching the semialba in Withner's book.
50 plants intermediate flask 1" to 1.5" tall. $70.
100 plants intermediate flask 1" tall. $100.

C. intermedia ((Aquinii x gigantea 'Red') x coerulea 'Monsieur Bleu Blood'). The pollen parent Monsieur Bleu Blood (take a closer look at picture on the right) has blue raindrop blobs bleeding out of its throat very similar to a Miltonia orchid plus it has a very handsome flower shape. We are looking to the pod parent to bring deeper and more saturation of color to the progeny.
10 plants 1.5". $25
.
|
|
|
C. intermedia var coerulea Aquinii Blue Rhapsody x self. We have resurrected a few old flasks we bought years ago from Ruben Sauleda at RIO in Miami. This was one of Ruben's most favorite offerings before he sold the business. Picture is from this crop.

.
|
|
C. labiata var coerulea ((D. Guile x Nice Lip) x Isawitfirst). We are hoping the dark blue lip coloration from the Isawitfirst pollen parent (picture on right) takes dominance and permeates the most of the flower on the offspring to produce some very rare concolors.

20 plants 1/2" to 1" tall. $50
100 plants 1/2" to 3/4" tall. $100

C. lueddemanniana semialba (Delicata x self). In 1923 Miami became home to the famous Orchid Jungle which Tom Fennell III (Sr) with his father Lee operated until hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992 destroying his 70,000SF greenhouse. One of the orchids Tom Sr managed to save in this catastrophe was a division from a rare semi-translucent “Best Species in Show” Cattleya lueddemanniana semialba “Delicata” which was awarded at a Caracas Venezuelan National Show in 1986, a show at which he was invited to be an honorary judge "on Lend” from AOS United States. The Venezuelan owner of this amazing C lueddemanniana semialba Delicata plant gave to Tom Sr in friendship a division of this new champion. Tom Fennell Sr brought this breathtakingly beautiful plant back to Florida. After Hurricane Andrew Tom Jr trucked what was left of the Miami business up to Deerfield Beach and proceeded to have a fire sale on what was left of Tom Senior’s collection. Tom Sr won a Florida lottery jackpot of $6,700,000 in 1994 and decided overnight to retire from the orchid business. A few months later Tom junior sold a division of this coveted plant to me for $1,000 during their “going out of business sale”. Below, January 2018 picture left. February 2018 picture right. Focus in on the center of the picture on the right, notice that you can see the colored lip of the flower behind the petal... this is the translucence "test" of the Delicata.
10 plants in flask. 1" to 1.5" tall. $35.

10 plants 1" to 1.5" tall. $60

C. lueddemanniana var coerulea ((Kathleen x Francisco) x ((Mariauxi x Francisco) x Crystelle)). As many of you know the blue Francisco will not self so we here in the lab are always keen to cross two stud plants containing a Francisco parent to increase rare chloroplasts of blue coloration. All of the offspring from this cross are reserved by a large orchid house in Germany until February 2020 after which expiration we will offer this selection to our regular customers. The pod parent (7.5" wide) is pictured on the left side and the pollen parent (6" wide) is shown in the center and right side pictures.

C. lueddemanniana (var oddball (La Orquidea x Azul) x Blue Nooner). Our breeding lab has four coerulea (La Orquidea x Azul) plants all purchased from the fine people at Plantio La Orquidea . Of these 4 plants only one turned out to be a premium grade Blue breeder which owing to its very dark blue lip now figures predominately in other crosses on this webpage. In December 2018 one of the lessser desirable 3 remaining plants threw up an unusual head of 4 flowers on one psuedobulb (see picture on the left side). In this one head of flowers was a nice semialba first, a washed-out pink, a pink and then a nice wannabe coerulea last. I have never seen anything like this before. We are crossing this oddball with the newest kid-on-the-block blue-lipped Blue Nooner (see picture on the right). I am not sure what we're going to get... but we'll be offering this cross in 2020 if you're curious to find out.
|
C. lueddemanniana alba (Candelaria x Clint McDade). On my last trip to Venezuela during Hugo Chavez's second term of destruction/pillage I brought back one flask of this white flower cross which is the best alba (with the least amount of yellow in the throat) that I have ever seen. For those growers who like bringing gift orchids to weddings and funerals this selection is the perfect choice. Picture is actual offspring from this cross.
10 plants 1" to 1.5" tall. $45, will be ready to ship after August 2019. Only 3 flasks remaining.

C. lueddemanniana ((var rubra (Sarita x Yamile) x (var coerulea (La Orquidea x Azul))). Our best rubra (named WhoopsTooMuchRed) times our best darkest coerulea lip. Dare we hope for electric magenta sepals and petals with a near black blue lip? In theory we have at least a 25% chance for that coloration outcome. This cross is 5 years in the making.

C. percivaliana (Summit FCC x Teresa Antonio AM/AOS). This is a cross we made 4 years ago, the flasks sold out quite fast. The flower picture is one of our first bloomers from the cross of these two AOS champions. The vivid electric orange coloration in the column is stunning and was quite a hoped-for dream come true in this breeding laboratory dedicated to the continuation of such fine rare Cattleya species.
10 plants in flask. We are "resurrecting" this cross from original protocorm and will be offering this selection again in summer 2019.
.
|
|
C. percivaliana ((Summit FCC x Teresa Antonio AM) x Merill AM). Our laboratory used three AOS champions to create this cross as we strive for perfection in this species.

C . schoffeldiana ((Helen x Bruce) x sib). We're in the process of bringing back this selection by a new sib cross of a selection we used to offer 10 years ago. We have crossed our two best select offspring plants from the original cross. This sib cross is now in mother flask.
.
|
|
C. schroederae (var citrina x concolor Rosalia). Our best citrina stud pod parent plant has been paired with pollen from a rarely seen gorgeous concolor Rosalia (Right side) owned by a famous breeder in Miami. This union will surely be absolutely exquisite with perfect form. This cross is in intermediate flasks now. We will be offering this selection for sale in the summer or fall of 2019.
.

C. trianaei semialba (Mick's Quest x White Chimera). Both plants have flowers with no pink or bluish tinge in the sepals/petals even though the White Chimera (pollen from famed Venezuelan breeder Armando Mantellini) on the right side seems to have a very light blue tinge, it is an artifact from insufficient lighting at dusk. Currently in intermediate flask. We will be offering this semialba in 2019.
.
|
|
|
C. trianaei var coerulea (OKF 2485 x (Luna Musica x Blue Diamond)). This cross is our best hope at a high-quality blue trianaei. The Luna Musica is the best coerulea we have ever come across and the substance plus form of our pod parent OKF 2485 is unquestionably superior.

C. warscewiczii var coerulea (Angarita x self). Legend has it that Colombian rebel Farc Comandante Angarita was the role model for the 'Most Interesting Man' in the Dos Equis beer commercial on TV. He was one bad-ass hombre first, a real ladies' man second and amateur orchid collector third. While chilling out far away from Government soldiers hunting him in the jungle he stumbled upon a stand of a few hundred wild growing warscewiczii plants. One of those plants had very rare blue flowers. Senor Angarita shot it out of the tree as it perched high up in the sunny canopy above. Three years later when slowly dying from an old bullet wound to the kidney he sold that plant for $6,000 to a Venezuelan electrical engineer stringing new high voltage wire through the jungle. That electrical engineer turned out to be a full-fledged orchid collector who eventually selfed that plant in his lab and sold some of the first flasks to me which should in turn upon your purchase make you "by 6 degrees of separation" much more interesting than you are today. Note: when repotting this species, do not disturb the old growth. Orchids Limited sells potted plants for $450 each and has a nice YouTube video on these specific plants. Click Here to watch.
50 plants 1" tall. $120.
500 plants 1/2" to 1" tall. $400.

C. warscewiczii (semialba Shahbanu x coerulea (Angarita x self)). The pod parent plant is named after and in respect of the last queen of Iran, Empress Farah Pahlavi, before Ayatollah Khomeini and his 14th century thugs overthrew the Shah. I had the pleasure of personally meeting the Empress in Isfahan many years ago and this plant (left) was named in honor of her Highness. Coerulea (Angarita x self) is on the right.

|
C. warneri var coerulea (Henrique x Code Blue). Four years ago I bought a division of the Henrique directly from Henrique Graf (see picture on the left). This might be the best C warneri coerulea in existence. Our lab has bred this plant with our best new coerulea specimen plant in the greenhouse named Code Blue (see picture on the right). This batch will be limited.
10 plants 1" tall. $40, as available.
We have a 5-bulb division from the unusually husky fast-growing Code Blue stud plant for sale. $200 each division.
For a 5-bulb division from the Henrique, please make inquiry. $400 each division.

BC ((C aurantiaca x B glauca) x C lueddemanniana coerulea (La Orquidea x Azul)). I stopped making hybrid orchids many years ago but in 2015 I couldn't resist taking some pollen from the best ever dark blue lipped C lueddemanniana orchid and putting it into one of my first BC hybrids, the very handsome waxy fragrant bright orange BC (C aurantiaca x B glauca). We are hoping to see an orange flower with a huge dark velvety blue lip which should in theory be at least 25% of the plantlets in this grex.

L. purpurata var schusteriana ((Misty x Limerick) x sib). I am fairly certain that this first Misty x Limerick union of two superior species stud plants was Helen Schwartz's last cross made in her old Miami greenhouse/laboratory. We subsequently used the two best offspring from that swarm for this new cross. Helen named all her favorite orchids Misty after one of her most favorite Great Dane dogs... and she had many.
10 plants 1/2" tall. $30, On Hold until larger circa July 2019.
We will be able to offer 50, 100, 1000 plant sizes of this selection.
