Woodstream Orchids — the slipper portfolio
Paph. Icy Icy Wind 'Casselman River'
An award-quality white complex Paphiopedilum — the flagship of the Woodstream slipper portfolio.
The Slipper Portfolio
Every plant, a portfolio plate — its parentage and award leading.
Founded in 1990 as a mail-order grower of orchid flasks and seedlings — predominantly Paphs — Woodstream is now one of the most prominent breeders of Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums in the United States. The collection is built on awarded breeding and elite lines acquired over decades: the Papa Aroha collection of Barry Fraser, Emerson "Doc" Charles, Dr. Jack Vickery's Orchid Thoroughbreds, and a partnership with Nancy Mountford of Orchids Dominicana.
