Plant Registrations and Photos
Between
1978 -1988 Adelaide Orchids under the leadership of Syd & Shirley Monkhouse
had registered 210 different crosses. Genera involved were Cymbidium,
Zygopetalum, Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis and Miltonia.
The
record below details all crosses registered by Stephen & Robyn Monkhouse as
from 1989. Adelaide Orchids since this date have ventured into a different
aspect in the hybridising, growing and marketing of the orchid family. Major
improvements so far are the new generation of Zygopetalums, displaying compact
growth habit, perfume variety, and colour changes. Improvements in
Paphiopedilum alliance in both flower productions, pot plant styles, growth
vigour, and colour combinations. Australian Natives are now also being attended
to, with improvements to these already beautiful and very popular plants.
Disa
orchids are also on the current hybridising program.
