Sapphire Dragon Orchids.com is a free information site and gallery focused on coerulea Phalaenopsis and our advancements in coerulea hybridizing. The majority of our efforts are driven by the goal of contributing to tomorrow's foundations in coerulea Phalaenopsis. Our targeted breeding program allows us to put more of our resources into these unique lines of breeding.

Check back periodically, as we will be updating this site on a regular basis as new images, and information about our orchids come available.

After many years of developement, this database is available for personal use so that you can take advantage of the same system that has allowed us to track and organize our own breeding program.

This year has been an amazing year for blooming out unique coerulea primary hybrids. The first seedling from our remake of Penang Violacea using violacea 'Pacific Rendezvous' has bloomed out an an amazing light coerulea with a pearlescent shimmer.

We are thrilled to be able to announce the flowering a coerulea Princess Kaiulani. This amazing cross has yielded both a coerulea's and very saturated reds. We paired a very deep yellow amboinesis 'Golden Dragon' with our indigo violacea 'Sapphire's Navy'. These are two of the first bloom seedlings. More photos are posted in the gallery.

Phalaenopsis violacea blooming season has kicked off to a great start. We now have two indigo violaceas in bloom from the Norton line and can start line breeding and doing other breeding with these magnificant orchids. The intense saturation of the blue pigments is going to allow us to make blue crosses unlike anything seen to date.

This year Phal. violacea 'Sapphire's Navy' has bloomed larger and even more saturated than its first blooming last year. We expect great things as these plants start to mature. We've posted new picks of 'Sapphire's Navy' in our gallery.

Phalaenopsis Bobbie Ann Cooper was regsitered in loving memory of my dearest Aunt Bobbie. She will be greatly missed and forever remembered in this orchid. There has been beautiful variety in the cross, Aunt Bobbie would have loved them.
