Well-established 2-3 pseudobulb division in 3.25" pot with at least one new growth since repotting (for a total of at least 3 pseudobulbs).
I think this is one of the most beautiful flowers in the Encyclia "alliance". Flowers are a little over 2" across. Lightly fragrant. This species flowers spring through fall, whenever new pseudobulbs mature. Blooms late spring-early summer.
Care: Intermediate-warm temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and dry periods and between light waterings with no fertilizer in the winter.
Our newest hybrid! Epicattleya Redwood Sunset (Cattleya sophronitis x Epidendrum parkinsonianum). Well-established, near-blooming seedlings in 4" net pots. These plants should bloom in the next 12-18 months if they are kept happy.When hybridizing, it's rare that the resulting plant and flowers turn out the way you imagine them. Epc Redwood Sunset is exactly what we hoped for! The plant itself looks like a smaller version of Epi parkinsonianum with beautiful long (12+"), fleshy, lance-shaped, pendant blue-green leaves.The flowers have are slightly smaller than Epidendrum parkinsonianum but retain the same shape. But the color? It definitely comes from the Cattleya (Sophronitis) coccinea mom! All of the seedlings that have bloomed so far have produced orangey red flowers. Because these are seedlings and not clones, all the plants produce slightly different flowers. The biggest variable has been in the color, which ranges from orange-red to deep red. All of the plants have produced 2 flowers per spike. and they flower anytime a leaf matures, which can happen multiple times a year.These are durable plants! It needs to hung in a basket or mounted because of its pendant growth habit. They do not like to be repotted or divided and the roots like to hang in the air, similar to a Vanda.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This stout, medium-sized species produces 5-12 green quarter-sized flowers on a 12"-15" spike. The flowers have an odd smell, but you need to get close to smell it. Flowers in the winter.Care: Bright indirect light, cool-hot temps, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.Flower picture credit: Elena Gaillard
Well-established blooming size seedlings in 3.25" pots. This is an in-house hybrid and is available exclusively from Orchids For The People. First blooms for this cross came in early 2025. The plant looks like a reed stem epidendrum but with very fleshy, almost succulent leaves. Growing conditions: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding throughout the growing season (spring-fall) with a slightly dry rest period in the winter.
Epidendrum neoporpax. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
We love this plant! It mats into a specimen in a short time. Flowers several times a year and we call it the "baboon butt" flower for obvious (to me :) reasons. This is a great orchid for vivariums and small growing spaces!
Care: Easy to grow in moderately bright to partial shade conditions. Like to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Moderate water year-round.
Epigeneium nakaharaei. An interesting and easy-to-grow scrambling miniature. Some now consider this species a Dendrobium. Does well in a pot or basket and loves to be mounted. Very lightly fragrant.
Well-established blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot. Very compact, it produces foot-long spikes with 5-12 flowers. Star-shaped flowers are white with a gold throat.Care: Cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. A cute, easy-to-grow Eria (closely related to Dendrobium) species.
The buds develop a wooly exterior (they look like hanging caterpillar coccoons) before opening to reveal a beautiful 1/2", creamy-white flower with distinctive red venation. Nonresupinate (upside down) flowers. Flowers winter-spring.The medium-small plant has pseudobulbs that are almost Hershey Kiss shaped (globose) and are initially covered by a mahogany-colored sheath. Each bulb has 1 or 2 dark green shiny leaves. Great for pots, hanging baskets or mounting.Care: cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, year-round regular watering.
2 bulb, blooming size bare root divisions that are ready to be potted in 4-6" pots with whatever growing mix you prefer.
These are pretty plants with unusual flowers. The flowers are small, white and faintly fragrant. The are borne on a 6-18" spike that carries as many as 50-75 closely packed flowers, 2 spikes per new bulb. Easy to grow under intermediate conditions. These guys grow fast and big, with a growth habit and plant appearance similar to a cymbidium (24-30" tall and very tight clumps of pseudobulbs).
