The plants we have to offer are a wide variety of seedlings, meristems and divisions of species and hybrids. Some originated in our own lab where others were obtained from all over the world.  During our frequent travels we have managed to bring back many famous stud plants in different genera to use in our hybridising programme.

When ordering, please keep in mind that the variety in a grex of seedlings is infinite and a picture only illustrates one clone of the grex.  In the case of divisions or meristems, the plants will be the same as the one in the picture.

Because Roelie, founder of Van Rooyen Orchids, had done a lot of hybridising in the Maudiae group, we decided to choose Paph. Tarentaal as our logo. This delightful cross of Paph. Maudiae (coloratum) x Katja Kastrup was made in 1983 by him and is named after our indigenous spotted bird, the guinea-fowl.
