Well-established blooming-size plant in 2.25" pot.
Porroglossum dalstroemii is a rare, miniature epiphytic orchid native to the wet, mossy cloud forests of southern Ecuador. The flowers are non-resupinate and have a "Trap-Door" lip (trapping pollinators to do their thing). It is a nearly continuous bloomer.
Care: Moderate indirect light, keep the roots evenly moist at all times, intermediate temperature (thrives best between 58°F and 72°F (14°C to 22°C)), and benefits from a gentle nighttime temperature drop, requires high, stable humidity levels between 70% and 85%.

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.

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.
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.

This unusual species creates 10-40 tiny flowers per spike. Each flower will fit on your pinky nail. The flowers are maroon-red with a white, furry border. It reminds me of a string of small buttons. The plant multiple times a year!
If you keep them happy (cool-wm, moist and in bright shade) these plants grow like grass! Great for vivariums.

This plant has flowers that never truly open. Instead a tiny slit forms in the side of the flower allowing the tiny gnats that pollinate it in. The flowers are dark purple on the outside and gold with purple dots on the inside. The flowers measure just under an inch long and last 6 weeks. Flowers in the late fall.
These plants grow well in cool to warm temps with medium/low light and should not be allowed to dry out completely. We grow ours in bright indirect light which makes the leaves turn purple. When these plants are grown in less light the leaves will remain green and the plant will still flower prodigously.
If you're into Pleurothallids, rare plants or the weird orchids, this is a good one!
