Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
15-30 small, fragrant vibrant yellow flowers seem to erupt out of the base of the leaf! When in full flower the plant seems to be covered in little yellow pompoms!Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding. This species should never be allowed to dry out completely.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.A prolific flowerer spring-fall. Each flower spike will bear 5-10 small (1/2") showy flowers. A plant this size will produce 10-20 flower spikes at a time in less than 3 years if grown well. Care: Cool-warm temps, regular year-round watering, and shade-indirect sunlight.
Well-established near-blooming size plants in 3.25" pots. This is one of the largest species of the genus (some taxonomists place it into the genus Acronia). The leaves, which are reddish-purple when young, can be almost 18" across and 24" tip to top. Flowers in the summer with as many as 20 quarter-dollar-sized flowers emerging at the top of the leaf and resting on the leaf. Each long-lasting (years) leaf will flower multiple times. If you have the room it really is a stunning plant.Care: Cool to warm temps, regular watering throughout the year, and prefers a moderately shady spot.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This plant produces chains of 10-30 very small, bright orange flowers that sit atop the beautiful, shiny, lance-shaped leaves. The overall effect is quite striking! Flowers multiple times a year.
Care: Intermediate to cool temps, partial shade and likes to stay moist.
Well-established blooming size seedlings in 3.25" pots. This is a newly documented natural hybrid (P. cochleata x radiata) first discovered in Guatemala. The plants tend to be more compact (more like radiata) with flowers that are similar to P. cochleata but are smaller with flatter, wider sepals. It really does look like a miniature version of P. cochleata!
Care: Intermediate-warm temperatures, bright indirect sunlight and regular year round watering and light feeding
This is a very easy to grow terrestrial orchid from Australia. Plants arise from a small corm and can colonize a large pot very quickly.
Best grown like Pleione, in a large, shallow "bulb pot" in a 3:1 soil to perlite mix. At our nursery, we keep the plants moderately moist and lightly fed throughout the growing cycle. When the plants start to look like they are dying we stop watering them. We don't restart watering them until green leaves again develop. Corms can be collected while the plant is dormant or just leave em alone and they will continue to take over their pot. New plants will even develop from roots sticking out of drain holes.Definitely a conversation starter!
Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.5" pot.
I'm not even going to try to describe these flowers because it won't do them justice! I'll let the pictures do the talking. I will tell you they measure just over 1" in length. Here at the nursery we just refer to them as "the alien cockroaches". Weird and eyecatching and at the same time very pretty! Flowers randomly year-round.Prefers cool-intermediate temps, bright indirect light and regular watering year-round.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
Produces 10-15, beautiful quarter-sized, crystalline white flowers per spike that have a red center. These plants are currently large enough to produce multiple flower spikes per season.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps with good air movement, regular year-round watering, and light feeding. Protect from exessive summer heat as the plant reacts badly to hot stagnant conditions.
Large blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Scaphosepalums are cool! The flowers are weird, they bloom a lot, and the spikes last over a year. And it flowers year round! What more could you want? S. beluosum flowers are about the size of a dime but are worth bending over and getting close to view. Hairy and fanged, the flowers have a gold background with brown markings and a red/purple column. The spikes bloom successively in flushes so it appears the side of the pot or basket is covered in tiny alien insects! Each spike may produce over 30 flowers over its lifespan.When given the proper amount of light, new leaves have a purple blush which fades to green as they mature,
Care: Cool-intermediate temps with plenty of humidity and good air circulation, Shade-indirect light, year round watering and light fertilizing. Should never be allowed to dry out completely.
Well-established blooming size plant in 2" pot.
This tiny flowered species is easy to grow with intermediate to warm temps, bright indirect light, and enough water and humidity to prevent it from drying out for long periods of time.
It's a favorite at the nursery for its forking growth pattern that creates an open yet bushy plant.
Mature, mounted blooming size plants. We imported these plants 6 months ago but held on to them to make sure the plants were healthy and strong (they are!).Small is an understatement when describing this species! Commonly called the millipede orchid because of its growth habit. This species hugs its growing surface looking for any crack or crevice to follow. The flowers are nearly identical to S fragrans (but without fragrance) but the sturdy, succulent leaves are about 1/2 the size (1/4" long, 1/8" wide)! The plant tends to branch randomly (these plants are already branching).
Blooms randomly at the nodes all along the plant in the spring-early summer. The tiny flower spikes hold up to 6 long lasting, brilliant pinkish-purple flowers.Great for terrariums!Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, daily light misting, light fertilizer 2x/month when growing new roots or leaves.
