Plants Off-Sale Now, But Returning!

1 bulb, 1 lead bare root division of Schomburgkia (Laelia) superbiens alba. This plant came from the same seed pod as  'Don Hubert Cross' CBM/AOS but has never been given a clonal name. It will need to be potted in a 6” pot or basket. The flowers are pure crystalline-white with a splash of gold on the lip and are 6-8” across. The flower spikes start developing Nov-December and can be as long as 12 feet by the time the 8-15 flowers open in the early spring. As you can see in the pics, it is best grown by folks who have a lot of room! If you live someplace it doesn’t freeze, this plant grows great outdoors. Care is similar to other Laelias: very bright-full sun, cool-warm temps, and lots of water in the spring-summer and very little water in the fall-winter. Please note - this plant will ship at the "2 plant" rate because of its size. My mother plant was the original plant (not a cutting) that was born in 1964! In 2020 we had to refurbish the greenhouse and as a result ended up dividing the plant.  Prior to that, the plant has not been repotted since the 60's. There is a picture below of me in front of the plant. Check out the video of us tearing it apart!

Large, well-established in a 1" or 3" net pot. The 3" pot plants have grown into balls the size of a cantaloupe! Most places on the internet sell it by the single strand. This hard-to-find fern is small-growing and highly suitable for terrariums, vivariums and as houseplants. The round, non-fertile leaves are approx 1/2 inch in diameter and the long, skinny fertile (spore) leaves are about 1.25” long. This plant is epiphytic, so it will do very well mounted with some sphagnum moss. It creeps nicely without being invasive and because of the long rhizome is easy to prune. Care: medium to high humidity, mild temps, and moderate-low light.

Well established plant in 2.25" pot. We are calling these plants "near blooming size" but a lot of them have already bloomed. Currently the stems are approx. 2" long. Stems are 12-18" long on mature plants. These are such beautiful plants that a lot of growers have one just for the vegetative growth. Leaves are tightly compressed against the stem and make the plant look like a collection of green sawblades. The long lasting small yellow Oncidium-like flowers emerge towards the end of each stem randomly Spring through fall. It does well in pots, baskets or mounted.This hardy plant prefers bright indirect sunlight, intermediate to warm temps and year round watering (allowing it to dry in between waterings).

Well-established seedlings in 2.25" pots. 18-24 months from flowering size.I included pictures of both parents. I have no idea what the flowers are going to look or smell like but I have high hopes!We took the relatively small and amazingly fragrant (this is the "coconut cream pie orchid") Maxillaria tenuifolia and crossed it with the Maxillaria species that has some of the coolest looking flowers, M picta 'Vasher'. M picta is also fragrant and the flowers are about twice the size of M tenuifolia. So far, the stature and structure look more like M tenuifolia with long wispy leaves atop big, round bulbs. Get 'em while they are cheap!  Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering, and fertilizer spring-fall and let dry between light waterings in the winter.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is a cute little orchid species that is easy and fast growing. Produces button-sized white flowers covered with red dots.

Even though it is considered a miniature, this species branches a lot and specimen plants can quickly turn into a bush the size of a soccer ball. This plant is great in pots, hanging baskets, mounted or in a terrarium. ​Care: Cool-intermediate temps, indirect sunlight and regular year round watering and light feeding.
