Dear fellow Aussie Native Orchid Lovers & Valued clients. 2007 has been another of those eventful years, to
say the least, lots of shows to exhibit our new crosses, & our top line parents. We continue to receive numerous
positive comments regarding the quality of our plants & breeding, from our ever-increasing customer base. This
confirms to us that we have a growing group of very happy Aussie Native Orchid lovers. Our Website
www.duno.com.au Results Tab, show details for 2007. Briefly. Wetlands Spring Show at Sandgate, OPEN SHOW
chosen as Champion Australian Native Orchid of the Show as well as Champion Australian Native Species Other
than Dendrobium our Dockrillia linguiformis ‘Tumbi’ 74 raceme carrying over 2,100 pristine white flowers, this plant
was subsequently judged Champion for the Bill Murdoch Trophy 2007, still in the Murdoch arena saw Dock.
striolata ‘Ruffles’ AD/AM/ANOS-AOC received another Gold certificate and Sarc. hartmannii ‘Dopey’ a Bronze.
Whilst the Hybrid department D. Elegant Heart ‘Windy’ was Champion Australian Native Hybrid, at the Wetlands,
and one of the five Silver Ira Butler Trophies recipients. The Ira Butler Certificate nominations saw Sarc. Heidi
‘Ho! - Albie’, at Central Coast Sarc. Show was the recipient of the inaugural ‘Albie Sherwood Memorial Trophy’ a
very pleasing result for us.
Our Congratulations to Mr. Phil Grech (DUNO customer) in winning the Gold Ira Butler ’07 with Den. Jayden
‘Goodie’. Whilst on the Ira Butler, a further seven received Silver Trophies or Certificates that are directly
attributed to D U N O breeding. The Hermon Slade Hybrid Judging saw our good friend Neville (alias Nifty) Lee
received the trophy with his Dock. Tweetas. D U N O also received two of the four certificates.
Our friend from New Jersey, Dick Doran who has had numerous successes with D U N O Dendrobium and
Sarcochilus Hybrids/Species advised that Den. Warragul ‘Hot Lips’ was awarded AM /AOS and Den. Cheeky HCC
/AOS at recent Shows on the East Coast of America. Dick grows in a glass House and in winter has been known to
shovel snow from little to lots from the door to get to his plants. Hasn’t been an easy year for the seedlings/
plants with the dramatic weather changes we’ve experienced during 2007. The lack of rain, then the deluges hasn’t
been any help but we did manage to do what we did with what was available and were rewarded with those results,
which confirms that, quality does count.
We hope that the new parents & excellent crosses we are offering this year, are to your liking, & look forward to
your custom. Note that as well divisions of our Dockrillia’s, we’ve added divisions, all be it not large, of some of
our show/ breeding Speciosums, Tropicools, kingianums & ‘Colds’, in limited quantities, so be early in placing
your orders. Remember don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding the
catalogue, the Website or your plants.
Due to the ever-increasing cost of producing & sending our “Colour” Catalogues to you, this will be our final colour
effort. Those of you who have enjoyed looking at the pictures of our parent plants, Trophy winners, first flowered
seedlings etc., they will be made available on Website www.duno.com.au , and at Shows. In 2009 the catalogue will
be in Black & White and can inform you that we hope to have new & exciting Dockrillia Hybrids for you in 2009 and
into 2010, whilst reducing other areas of production. We hope our vivid descriptions will help you decide.
My personal health in 2007 (Brian) has played havoc with continued work in the laboratory, thus we have had no
choice but to scale down our hybridizing program & limit flask work. Whilst being a Vietnam veteran, I might say
that, age does weary you, especially in the fine motor areas, that guy Arthur Ritus, (both hands), has raised his
ugly head. We will endeavor to present to you the best we can produce with our quality awarded parents & others,
and hope to maintain our position in the Aussie Native Hybrids & Species field that you have been accustomed, and
continue to indulge in that quality. You will note we have no flasks available as such for this apologize, hopefully you
will understand. What flasks that MAY become available will be offered at Events & Shows in which we
attend. Happy Growing in 2008,
Phena & Brian
FREIGHT CHARGES - We use Australia Post & can deliver to your door up to 75 seedlings (5 kg) for $16.50

D. kingianum ‘WHITE ICE’
X
kingianum ‘CREAM ‘69’
Hope you like ‘whites’? Could produce pure whites & then again with ‘69’ in play, anything can happen, colour wise.
Anyway ‘White Ice’ is big, chunky & sits up there, with just a hint of lemon yellow in the throat, it‘s a beauty. ‘69’ soft
cream that as it matures has a soft pink tinge, texture plus as well. 50mm TUBES PLUS COMPOT ALL SOLD OUT
*D. spec. spec. ‘KATES SPECIAL’
X
spec. curv. ‘DAYLIGHT MOON’ FCC/AOC-ANOS
Redid one of our early crosses X1172, as ‘Kate’ is one of the best type forms going around, with its cream/ yellow
40mm blooms, great texture & shape, plus an almost perfect spike habit. Stick the ‘Moon’ into the equation; result
should be a show bench special.
50mm TUBES PLUS 2 COMPOTS @ $30.00 EACH
*D. spec. curv. ‘MISTY MOUNTAIN’ HCC/AOC
X
SELF
One of the relatively new kids. Billy Dobson took out one of the Warringah Group Shows with this & it received a HCC.
Thought it would be good to self. Excellent flower presentation, texture & yellow /cream colour and shape. Possibly
produce even better than the original.

spec. curv. ‘DAYLIGHT MOON’ FCC/AOC-ANOS
*D. spec. hillii ALBA
Seeing is believing. We thought that how can we increase the flower count on ‘The Moon’ and give a speciosum
‘hillii’ a flower with more substance and size. This is the equation we came up with, which should do exactly that.
Shouldn’t take 15 years to flower, they are growing well
50mm TUBES PLUS 3 COMPOTS @ $30.00 EACH
D. kingianum ‘WHITE ICE’
X
kingianum ‘BROWN’S WHITE’
As above with ‘White Ice’, & I think this one of the few white line breeding that has been done. Now ’Brown ‘s White’,
from our good friend Albert who is looking after the ‘kingies’ in the big bush house in the sky, is virtually pure white,
4 ONLY 50mm TUBES
not overly large in the flower size, but looking to have even purer white ‘kingies’.
D. spec. curv. ‘BLEW MOON’
X
SELF
‘Blew’ without question one of the best curvicaule’s, from the same area as ‘The Moon’ FCC/AOC was collected. When
they both flower at their best it is difficult to judge, which is better, trouble is, they don’t seem to want to do it at
the same time. Could be brothers/sisters. Worth serious consideration50mm TUBES & 80mm POTS @ $12.00 EACH
*D. kingianum ‘BLACK ALLEY’
X
kingianum ‘CHEW BACCA’
Could be similar to X2190, (’05 Cat.) only that ‘Black Alley’ is a slightly bigger flower, and deeper in colour. Throw in
‘Chewy’, (not from Star Wars) with its fantastic texture and shape, and excellent spike habit, and we could have an
exceptional kingianum, with exciting new colours and combo’s. 50mm TUBES PLUS 3 COMPOTS @ $30.00 EACH
*D. spec. HERBSTAR ‘TRIFID’S TWIN’
X
spec. curv.’ DAYLIGHT MOON’ FCC/AOC-ANOS
‘The Twin’ as it implies is related to ‘Trifid’, won Champion at the Wetlands Show ’06. Same unbelievable texture,
flower presentation & clear cream yellow lip. Add ‘The Moon’ to the pot, give it a stir, & we hope to get something
right out of this WORLD , almost a sure thing.
50mm TUBES PLUS 2 COMPOTS @ $30.00 EACH
D. spec. pedunculatum ( compactum )
X
spec. spec. ‘AMY’
Something a little different, a compactum (a.k.a. pedunculatum), the dwarf version, still upright spikes of yellow/gold
flowers, whilst Dad is one of the better type forms in the stable. Should improve flower size, count and texture,
growing well.
50mm TUBES & 80mm POTS @ $12.00 EACH
*D. spec. blackdownense ‘GOLD’
X
spec. HERBSTAR ‘TRIFIDS TWIN’
Here is potentially a great mix that should produce an excellent result. Mum, a long arching spike of golden yellow
beauties, this flowers earlier than the rest. Whilst Dad as per X2494 will certainly add some real grunt to the
50mm TUBES

flower, and hopefully Mum’s colour will prevail,
D. spec. blackdownense ‘GOLD’
X
spec. grandiflorum MT. LARCOM GOLD
This beauty has a long long spike of golden beauties, good shape/ presentation, 6 spikes last year. Mt. Larcom, large
golden yellow blooms as they mature go to a sort of orange/gold. Should bring down flowering wait time, as
capricornicum earlier flowerer. result should be a Cracker.

Sarc. hartmannii ‘BEE ESS’ HCC/AOC
X
hartmannii ‘BRIAN’S CHOICE’
This screams out ’quality’, Without question two of the best show/breeders we have in the stable. ‘Bee Ess’ and ‘Brian’s
Choice’ (Snow White x Red Snow) both have done it for us at the show bench time and time again. They are growing
really well and have the indication that the ‘Bee Ess’ textural influence is showing through.
Not a lot available, they are VERY VERY LIMITED in 50mm TUBES @ $11.00 EACH

2065 Sarc. fitzgeraldii ‘RED ON RED’ X fitzgeraldii ‘CRISPUM’
We’ve been successful in crossing arguably two of the best red coloured fitzgeraldii’s going around. Hopefully,
& we say hopefully, that the red colour will continue or may be even richer, if possible both have good shape & flower &
presentation, ‘Red’ has a Lorraine Fagg ‘Red’ in it.
50mm TUBES & 80mm POTS @ $12.00 EACH
2380 *Sarc. hartmannii BEE ESS’ HCC/AOC X hartmannii ‘TUMBI
+ C
The famous or is it infamous ‘Bee Ess’, texture like cardboard, shape virtually perfect. This should give a result not
unlike the X1711, as ‘Tumbi’ is a perfect shape and great flower count. Note, that we decided insert colchocine into the
equation; you could probably crack eggs on the leaves, as a result. Looking forward to see this flower.

1869 S. DUNO NICKY’S TWIN ‘ALMOST NICKY’
X
hartmannii ‘BEE ESS’ HCC/AOC
As the ‘Twin’s clonal variety would allude, that it’s almost like ‘Nicky’, pure RED. Good shape, presentation &flower
count, ‘Bee Ess’ HCC/AOC has, we hope finally come to maturity in the breeding department, both as a Mum & Dad. It
has a number of interesting crosses in the system & this is JUST one of them. Red & White, Yellow & Red, who knows,
I know who knows, but he won’t tell me.
VERY LIMITED 50mm TUBES
2054 S. GEORGE COLTHUP ‘THE EYE’
X
fitzgeraldii ‘RED ON RED’
Not the easiest to play with ‘The Eye’, as is ‘George’ in general. Fifty-cent piece sized, flat as, & with red/maroon ‘Eye’
that says ‘Look at me’, ‘Look at me’. ‘DAD’ as it suggests is RED, solid, dusty red. That box of chocolates again, where
you never know what you are going to get.
LIMITED 50mm TUBES
2055 S. FITZHART – REMAKE, with a Twist i.e.,(S. fitzgeraldii ‘True Albie’ x hartmannii ‘Alba’)
A pure white, line bred fitzgeraldii of good shape, third generation, We’re told. Then put the pure white roundsegmented hartmannii into stud duties. Hoping for pure white progeny, & lots of blooms with good shape. Chubby could
sing its praises like he did last summer, remember?

S. VELVET – EXACT REMAKE of X773 i.e.,(S. NICKY ‘TOO’ x RIVERDENE HOLLY)
+ C
You asked for it, now you’ve got it. I don’t think I have to expand too much on what we are going to get here, as the
colour spectrum we have seen from the original cross of Neil’s has been incredible. I’ve benched 6 of the original cross &
all have similar colour bases, but their combination has been so variable. We also added colchocine to the equation, and
they are growing extremely well. Enjoy the journey, we will.
50mm TUBES
2392
S. DAWN HART ‘GENESIS’
X
hartmannii ‘YELLOW SNOW’ AD/
Named after a dear friend in Dawn Hart (Aussie Dawn x hartmannii), & is as colourful as she was, now giving swimming
lessons to those in the big pool in the sky. Soft cream yellow base colour with a myriad of magenta/pink spots over 2/3
of the segments, good shape & flower count, about a ten-cent piece size. Dad ‘The Snow’ should add a new dimension in
the colour result, & we are looking forward to that, aren’t we Rick?
50mm TUBES
2405
*S. ARMSTRONG ‘FUNNY FACE’
X
hartmannii ‘SEVEN’
Another of the new kids. ‘Funny Face’, a well rounded beauty with a ivory white base colour having pink blotching on the
S & P’s with rings around the centre of the blooms being orange/red, and a yellow lip. ‘Seven’ (Reefer x Red Snow) has
excellent shape, good flower count & an intense red centre. Result, an even funnier face, & more flowers on the spike.
Plus Red Snow can do wonders with the original colours. Varietal name given to it as it has colorations /patterns similar
to our Goleta (California) friends cat, also named ‘Funny Face’ 50mm TUBES
PLUS ONE COMPOT @ $30.00
2447
*S. RIVERDENE ‘HOLLY’’ – TUMBI
X
VELVET ‘OH! SO RED’
‘Holly’ is back with its cream/yellow S & P’s & vibrant red centre, arching spike & good flower count. Whilst ‘Oh So Red’,
as the name implies is a solid velvety red. Given that Velvet’s usually flower later than other Sarc’s, so by putting these
two together, we may get one that will be in flower for much longer than both parents, worthwhile adding to your
collection.

Very little difference between Nicky ‘# 1’ and ‘Too’, and in the colour range resulting from the original 828 cross and
the 773 that have flowered, you really can’t tell ‘who’s who in the Zoo’, so to speak. Your choice, but given I shot them
with the colchocine as well. They are both growing well, try both, why not? One thing, you won’t have to put these in a

X
hartmannii ‘BRIAN’S CHOICE’
Mum, courtesy of Stan Davis, thank you. Lovely mid pink round-segmented bloom with raspberry dots over centre half
of segments, & plenty of them. Add our stud muffin, hartmannii a fertile Daddy, we could hope for something like a
SOLD
Bobby Dazzler, that we can breed with, as ‘Bobby’ is a little on the shy side.
*S. RACHEAL – REMAKE
+ C
i.e.,(hartmannii ‘YELLOW SNOW’ AD-HCC /ANOS
X HEIDI ‘ALBERT BROWN’ - Gold Ira Butler Trophy Winner ’04)
On paper this has the potential to be an absolute cracker. Heidi, S & P’s bone white base colour with mid pink stripes
and blotching over 90% of the segments, with a solid deep pink/maroon ring around the centre. 15 plus blooms to the
spike. Dad, has in the past shown the ability to enhance its partners colours to orange tones. Add the colchocine to the
equation, outstanding prospect.
50mm TUBES PLUS ONE COMPOT @ $30.00
S. MELBA - REMAKE
i.e.,( S. falcatus ‘GOLDEN SHOULDER’ x hartmannii ‘YELLOW SNOW’)
Another Melba! BUT this could produce Melba’s with a yellow to yellow/orange centre, given that the colour of the
falcatus in having more yellow on the labellum, a montainous form, as with 2388. In breeding Dad has the ability to
create different hues. Hopefully this is not an exception.
VERY LIMITED 50mm TUBES & 80mm POTS SOLD

i.e.,(MARION ‘GINGER’ x FITZHART ‘ONE BILLY’)
Neville Roper did the original, & been some excellent results. Using ‘Ginger’ which is a mid yellow with a ginger /brown
centre & olivaceous shape. Dad, one of the bigger Fitzhart’s, white with a huge deep red solid ring around the centre of
the blooms. Expect a colourful result. Like all hybrids ‘It’s like a box of chocolate’s, you never know what you a going to

DEAR CUSTOMER
We have several types of plants on offer & would like to
tell you a little about them. Our culture notes are offered
as a guide only, it works for us, so please be careful
to try our ideas on an unimportant plant first and
see if it suits your conditions!
Our Tropicool’s™ have a tropical species in their background, in most cases Den. bigibbum, a plant which is used behind many
of the worlds cut flower orchids. It lasts longer than most Dendrobium species & produces such flamboyant flowers.
As Den. bigibbum flowers in autumn, & most other commonly used species in our hybrids flower in spring. Tropicool’s
 usually
flower any time between May & September, with our peak at the end of July, early August. As a result, this type of hybrid has
filled in the off-season with wonderful flowers, & will tolerate as much cold as most other native Dendrobiums. The trick is to
keep them DRY in cold weather. The higher the bigibbum content the colder the DRIER! In cold weather, when the bulbs start
to wrinkle give them a good drink in the morning, avoiding the coldest days. If the bulbs are not wrinkling, they are not thirsty!
Pot up into 80mm pots as soon as they are big enough. DO NOT over pot! Air movement is important, we hang our best (large
plants, not seedlings). If you follow these guidelines you should grow them as well as your other natives.
Other Dendrobiums and Sarcochilus;- As with the Tropicool’s™ above, these should not be over watered. If you
watch the bulbs you will see they generally wrinkle before the Tropicool’s™ so can tolerate more water, but don’t over do it. Be
guided by the plant bulbs! Sarcochilus on the other hand don’t have pseudo bulbs, so they have to be treated a little
differently, in that in summer you can’t afford to let them dry out as they don’t have any water reserves, other than in their
leaves. Water when they need it. Light doesn’t have to be as bright as for Dendrobiums to grow them successfully, feed and
treat them the same as ordinary Dendrobiums, except for the watering. In winter cut back as you do with Tropicools
 for
watering.
General;- Avoid high Nitrogen fertiliser like the plague - it leads to soft, fungi prone growth and few flowers.
We use a high potassium food with an N: P: K of 8:5:25, at a rate of one gram per litre fortnightly, all year round. We also
use Aminogrow and a product called Harvest to give the plants a variety of goodies to get them growing/flowering well. To get
optimum results when using Pine bark mixes, it is a good idea to give your plants a drink of lime-water in early autumn and again
in early spring. We use micro-fine lime (F70 Superfine Limestone) at a rate of one gram per litre. We also use and recommend
Orchid Care Services treated pine bark. For seedlings, 6 parts fine, two medium, and 1 part 10mm river pebbles. We have found
that using an Orchid food with an N: P: K of 12.12.20 gives seedlings that little extra to get up & go. Dendrobiums and
Sarcochilus up to 140mm pots, 6 parts medium, two parts fine and one part 10mm river pebbles, speciosum up to 140 – 180mm
pots 6 parts medium, two parts coarse and one part 20mm river pebbles. For larger speciosum 6 parts coarse, two parts medium
and one of 20mm river pebbles. Before potting (using dry mix) sieve the mix to remove all ‘fines’, put the fines on the garden or
into your Cymbidium mix, if you grow them. When deflasking we add a capful of Envy (Stress-guard) to the water, soak the
seedlings for 15-20 minutes in this solution, shake all the agar off the roots, in the water, then lay them on some damp
newspaper. After potting we sprinkle a mix of sel-grit and canunda shell (50/50) over each pot; this is for a lime and calcium
supplement. Now totally drench the plant to get rid of any missed ‘fines’, and thoroughly soak the bark to encourage the roots
to grow into a nice new moist environment. This process could take up to 15 minutes, depending on the quantity of plants. Do
not let the bark dry out in the early stages of the plants’ potting into its new mix. Morning sun is also very essential
ingredient in maintaining a good healthy growing / flowering environment.
We suggest that where we have made note of the fact a plant should be given a rest or grown in an intermediate house, that is
where we grow them, or how we grow them, it is your final choice.
The fertiliser, Amino K Aminogrow sel-grit/canunda shell mix, lime & HOZON™ line feeders, and their repair kits, plus
DRAMM™ Watering Wands & the fine rainmaking head as well as the small head to work with the HOZON™ are available
from the nursery and we have a range of ancillary products, some brand new to help you make life a little easier.
*** PLUS we have our AUSSIE NATIVE STARTER KIT. *** STILL JUST $27.50
THE Ideal gift for THE person who has everything. The kit includes 3 x plants in 50mm tubes, (@ $7.00 each). You
may wish to include a more expensive tube, we just add the difference between it & the $7.00 onto the base price,
3 x 80mm pots, fertiliser, enough bark mix to pot the three plants into & all-important
INSTRUCTIONS.
We hope that this is of some help, & look forward to hearing from you, should we be able to assist further. In closing,
congratulations to all those who won prizes with our plants last year, & if you win a show, or an award this year, please don’t
forget to enter the plant into the Ira Butler or Bill Murdock competitions, and for the P.N.G. species & hybrids the Hermon G
Slade Trophies. You, your efforts, & your plant deserve nothing less. You’re Society Secretary or Show Marshall should have
entry forms.
Best wishes,
Phena & Brian
