Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" 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 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.
Very limited quantities!
Scaphosepalums are cool! The flowers are weird, they bloom a lot, and the spikes last over a year. The plant size we offer is in flower 12 months a year! What more could you want?
S beluosum flowers are about the size of a dime but 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.
Young leaves are initially a purple/wine color and turn green as they mature. Under bright light conditions, the leaves will remain a blotchy purple/green combo. Beautiful striking foliage.Like almost pleurothallids, this plant should be grown cold-intermediate with shady, high humidity conditions with year-round watering. 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.
Near blooming-sized seedling in a 4" octagonal basket. 6-18 months from flowering.
The reverse hybrid is registered as Stanhopea Nina Rach but I could find no images of it. Expecting large flowers, hopefully with a bright yellow/gold background and plenty of brick red splotches.Care: Cool to warm temps and low to medium light. Regular watering year-round but allow to dry slightly between waterings.
