Orchids for the People has hybridized orchids for over 20 years. In 2012, we built a lab on-site and have been making orchid babies ever since! Check out our creations and re-creations!
Our newest registered hybrid! Brassidium Charlotte, Oncidium Keighleyensis x Brassia verrucosa. Well-established, blooming-size seedling in a 3.25" pot.
Each flower spike produces 12-18 star-shaped flowers that are 2-3" across and 3" from top to bottom. Because these plants are seed-grown and not mericlones, each one produces different colors and spotting patterns. All so far have produced flowers with a long lip pinched in the center, giving them a curvy figure-eight look. I have included several pictures of different plants in flower so you can get an idea of the flower variation.
Please note: We cannot pick out certain traits (color, spotting, etc) for the buyer. This is a "grower's choice" listing.
Care: Cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding year-round with slightly longer watering intervals in the winter.
This cross produced its first blooms in 2025. They are amazing and keep getting better! First two blooms pictured. This in-house hybrid is seed-grown, meaning there will be variations in the flowers from plant to plant.
Blooming Size in 3.25" pot
Care: Bright, indirect light, good air circulation, and high humidity (around 50-80%). Water generously when the plant is actively growing, allowing the potting medium to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering in the winter. Feed "weakly/weekly" during the growing season.
Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.I'm excited about this new in-house Anacheilium hybrid! The wonderfully fragrant flowers, which are non-resupinate and about the size of a quarter, have butter-yellow petals with a sprinkling of purple dots. The nicely rounded white lip is accentuated by purple stripes with a hint of yellow in the throat. The flower spikes produce 3-8 flowers.Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall with a slightly drier rest period in the winter.
These are seed-grown seedlings so the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
Well-established size plant in a 3.25" pot. One of our in-house hybrids! We have been impressed with this cross's vigor and ability to flower at a very young age. Because of the plant's height, it ships at the "2 plant" rate.
These plants will stay compact and relatively small (we expect them to max out at about a foot tall). Produces 1-3 1" pink flowers at each node on leafless, mature canes. The older, leafless canes produce flowers for several years so the show just keeps getting better! This plant does well mounted, in hanging baskets or in a pot.
Care: cool-hot (doesn't mind slightly cooler temps in the winter), bright indirect light, wet spring-fall with regular feeding, and a drier winter rest period.
5 plants for $55.
This is Miltonia (regnelii v alba x (spectabilis v moreliana x Seminole Blood) and Miltonia ((spectabilis var moleliana x Seminole Blood) x regnelii var alba). I know it's a mouthful but we haven't registered a name yet! Large, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.
I love this new cross we made! Every single plant has unique flowers! All have produced 3-6 flowers on their first flower spike. Flowers have been 3"-4" across. The majority of plants have had spotted flowers. The plant flowers in the late summer/early fall. I have included several pictures of flowers that have already bloomed to show a representation of the flowers we have seen so far. Please note: I cannot pick a particular flower pattern. Later in the season I will have auctions for individual plants with select flowers on our eBay site (Orchids for the People). Select plants will be considerably more expensive!
Care: Intermediate - warm temps, bright indirect sun, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.

We've done the chore of deflasking, all you have to do is pot them up! Well-established seedlings. This is a complete flask (30+ plants) that was compotted in the March 2025.
Great for retailers or orchid societies!

With this cross we are looking mainly for hybrid vigor. The offspring will look very similar to both parents with some slight variations in color. Parent flowers are 3-4" inches across, flower sequentially (2-5 flowers/spike), and are pendant (adult plants do best in hanging baskets).Care: cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Cattleya Mariae Piae (Cattleya forbesii x C purpurata). Blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.All plants available have previously bloomed and currently have at least 1 new growth developingThis hybrid was first registered in 1897 and we liked it so much we brought it back! Using our finest parent plants, this is the result. The beautiful white petals have delicate pink veins and the large, rolled lip starts out white and turns purple with a white margin.
Care: bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall, and a slightly drier rest period in the winter.

We crossed our best Cattleya harrisoniana with our best Panarica (used to be Encyclia) prismatocarpa. Our intention was to get C. harrisoniana size flowers that are spotted. What we actually get, who knows! If you are willing to take a chance and wait a while, you may get an amazing plant for a great price!
Care: Care: Intermediate-warm temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and a slightly drier, fertilizer-free winter rest period.
This is a remake of Cattleya Antigone using 2 great, large-flowered parents. These plants are seed-grown seedlings, not mericlone plants, so each one is unique. If you like to get your plants judged, this is your chance to give a plant a clonal name! A real beauty!
