The majority of our efforts are driven by the goal of contributing to tomorrow's foundations in coerulea Phalaenopsis. This targeted breeding program allows us to put more of our resources into these unique lines of breeding. Periodically we do some novelty breeding, but most of our hybrids are created to be used either as building blocks or the foundation for longer term hybridizing goals. In the future we will be making available new hybrids and our own line breeding of select coerulea strains.

Sapphire Dragon Orchids started over 20 years ago as the hobby. Recognizing the opportunity to create very new and unique phalaenopsis hybrids, in 2001 Rob decided to focus on coerulea Phalaenopsis hybridizing and began to build up a full collection of coerulea Phalaenopsis that are now used as the foundation for our breeding program.

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

10.26.2009 - New indigo Equalacea selections
We have bloomed a number large number of our indigo Equalacea cross and are now making selection plants available to our customers. We have made available a range of flowered seedlings from this cross of different levels of quality. All are blue and all will grow out to be very nice plants that will have multiple spikes and many flowers. We also still have unbloomed seedlings available in our online catalogue while they last.

Select Indigo Equalaceas

This year has been a fantastic year for us with the Norton indigo violaceas. Currrently we have bloomed out 4 very nice indigos that are now being used in our breeding program. In 2008 the first of our crosses using the indigo violaceas will be made available and many more will comming in 2009. Its a very exciting time for coerulea phalaenopsis breeding. We hope you will stop by often to follow our progress and hopefully pick up a few fun things for yourself.

07.15.2007 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.

06.24.2007 We've been lucky enough to bloom our second indigo violacea from Norton line of violaceas. This is really exciting for us and great opportunity for making new coerulea hybrids. We've decided to name this one 'Dainiji Aiiro' which means The Second Indigo Blue in Japanese. More photo's of Phal. violacea 'Dainiji Aiiro' are posted 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.
