                          (World Exile 'Superb' x Cadence 'Polonaise')
                      

Well-named!  This outstanding complex hybrid displays all the best attributes of a great Paph -

i.e., size, shape, substance and stem length (in that order, please note!).  Ratcliffe Orchids

is the only company to have registered more than 1000 hybrids of any orchid genus.  We also

offer other orchids plus a wide range of supplies and sundries for good culture of orchids.
