We have been at the wheel of D U N O for the past 13 or is it 14 years & in that time, we have produced some excellent crosses, received numerous Australian & International Awards, countless Grand Champion & other achievement ribbons.  THE G. HERMON SLADE SPECIES Trophy for 2010 was given to our plant of Dock. fuliginosa ‘Black Pam – Tumbi.’ the GOLD IRA BUTLER TROPHY winner Dock. Australian Ginger ‘Trish’, our breeding, owned by the effervescent Trish Peterson & the GOLD BILL MURDOCH TROPHY to Lorraine & Bill Dobson, with spec. curv. Daylight Moon FCC/AOC-ANOS x spec. curv. Blew Moon.
 
During that time D U N O received 2 Ira Butler, 2 G. Hermon Slade Hybrid & 2 Bill Murdoch Gold Trophies, 10 Silver Ira Butler trophies & countless certificates in all four fields.  In addition our plants have been awarded, AM/’s & HCC/’s both here, New Zealand & the U S A.  Our participation in the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show at which we were judged the Best Foreign Exhibitor ANY orchids in 3 out of the 4 years we participated, in addition (spec. curv Daylight Moon x spec. spec. Watellow) was judged Best Speciosum, & to a plant we sold four years before of D. Dunokayla it received an 87 point AM/AOS. Other crosses that haven’t as yet reached their maturity we consider to be potentially top class. 
 
All our breeding has had a particular result in mind as previous owner of D U N O the legend Neil Finch had done & he instilled in us that same attitude to breeding, unlike others in the Aussie Native Orchid breeding world, at least we can stand up and be counted that WE did the breeding.
This last year has been an eventful one to say the least, both personal health issues for us both and the orchids. Two Grand Champions at the Royal Easter Show as well as individual Champions, Grand Champion at the Newcastle bigibbum Show with D. bigibbum Darryl’s Round’, Champion Australasian Hybrid at the Mingara Show with D. Warringah ‘Manly’ whilst at the recent ‘Orchids by the Sea’ run by M.W.O.S. our plant of Dockrillia Martin ‘Gold’ was awarded a 79point HCC/AOC.
Remember don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments regarding the catalogue, the Website or any of your plants or whatever that may be causing you concern.
Possibly your very last chance to obtain quality divisions or plants of D U N O breeding.
