In the “Language of Flowers,” the orchid symbolizes fertility and wealth. They are exotic and valuable… so we chose the perfect name for our Summer Orchid.
This young female exhibits the retained fineness her sire, Silver Charm, was so noted for. Charm was a well known and respected name in the silver herd sire lexicon. He was the "go to" guy for retained fineness well into his later years. This garnered him many 1st place fleece awards, including AOBA Nationals at the age of 5. Once owned b... |

Flora is a flashy young matron with a beautiful head. She has wonderful conformation, super bone, and an upright, proud demeanor.
This elegant young female's, genetics combine many of the most well respected names in the "Grey Stud Book:" Rincon Cloud, Danko, Rayo del Sol, Lanark's Silver Charm ... and she does them all proud!
The grey world sadly lost Silver Charm, Flora's maternal grandsire in 2012. His last cria was born that year. Flora is one of his last granddaughters.
Danko, her maternal grand sire, is also deceased. Danko was Alpacas de la Patagonia's "go to" herd sire. They called him "The Man" and he sired their now almost legendary, Lennox.
Sad as they are, these losses add value to Flora's strong grey pedigree.
Flora's sire, Emerald Farm's Rincon Cloud, is a Multi-Champion, including 2005 AOBA Nationals. His genetics are at the foundation of many outstanding grey herds.
Flora's dam, LF del A Summer Orchid, and her grand sire, Silver Charm, retained their fineness histogram after histogram.
Flora's following right along. Her first histogram came back with an AFD of 18.9 and CF of 98.1%. Her second histogram, at 23 months, came back with an AFD of 21.1 and a CF of 94.8 (take a look at the full numbers at the top of this page). Her beautiful, low amplitude crimp is reminiscent of Rincon's and it has great density.
Her blindingly bright first fleece sold for a high price at a fiber festival in 2015... bringing comments of "OOOOH, so soft!" And, right they were. She did it again in 2016. Her second fleece sold to a delighted hand spinner for top dollar. And, in 2017, her fleece was spun into bulky yarn. It's all gone!
Anything better in a foundation female, than a proven young matron, with a huge grey pedigree, and highly marketable fleece, bred to a stunning black Judge's Choice male?
