Maxillaria schunkeana
Maxillaria schunkeana. Well-established blooming size division in a 3.25” pot. This beautiful miniature Maxillaria is one of the few orchids that produce "black" flowers. Not truly black, the small (about the size of a dime) flowers produce so much purple pigment that they appear black to the eye. The flowers emerge from new, mature pseudobulbs on short stems holding the flower at pseudobulb height. Care: Intermediate-warm temps, indirect light and regular watering year-round.

Maxillaria sophronitis
Some people consider these "miniature" plants but we like to call them "small". The plants tend to have a creeping, mat-like habit so it prefers to be mounted. It's considered a rain forest orchid so it prefers cooler temps and moderate, consistent moisture and high humidity. This is an easy, fast-growing plant. The beautiful orange-red flowers are easy to spot and are quite pretty.

Miltonia spectabilis v Moreliana
Blooming-size divisions in 3.25" pots. This is a selfing of the first orchid I ever bought (around 1988) ! It came from Rod McClellan's when it was still in South San Francisco. The parent plant has lived in 5 homes and 3 greenhouses as I've dragged it around through college and after. Needless to say it is a survivor! It has been grown in numerous environments but all the books say it prefers intermediate to warm conditions. It does like to stay on the moist side. I've always kept them in very bright light, as I do all my plants, so the leaves are on the "lime" side of green (As Miltonia Leaves should be). These plants do fine in pots but love to be mounted or in a basket. The flowers are beautiful. The petals and sepals are dark purple and the lip is lighter lavendar. They have the pleasant light fragrance of black licorice. The plant flowers in the fall. Each spike has 1-2 flowers that are about the size of my hand.

Oncidium sphacelatum
Recently repotted, blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is an Oncidium on steroids! It's the largest Oncidium species I know of. It's not quite Grammatophyllum big, but it's close. This easy-to-grow orchid produces 6' long flower spikes that carry 50-100+ 1", lightly fragrant bright yellow flowers with maroon markings. I prefer to grow specimens in large hanging baskets. so I don't have to repot often. If you live somewhere where you can mount it to a tree (FL, gulf coast, San Diego, etc) and let it go, you are in for a treat!Care: Intermediate-hot temps, indirect light, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and let it dry out between waterings in the winter.

Pleione formosana
3 large, mature bare-root bulbs of Pleione formosana. Lab raised from seed, bred from our finest examples.Ready to be potted and will flower in 6-8 weeks! I will ship these with a detailed care sheet. The plants die back to the ground in late fall and need a dry, cold rest for a couple of months. When the leaves start looking ragged in the fall we dig them all up, sort them for size, store them in boxes in a cool, dry dark place, and don't bother them until late January, early February. They seem to prefer shallow "bulb pans" with a mix of 1/2 soil 1/2 fine bark with the bulbs sitting on top of the mix. Bulbs flower 4-6 weeks after breaking dormancy (and before the leaves emerge)Care: Medium-light and Medium temps while active. Hardy to 20 degrees, many people grow them outdoors in mild climates. I think these are some of the most magnificent orchids grown in cultivation today. Very large lavender petals and an elongated white frilly lip with brown spots. The flowers are even more spectacular because they bloom when there is still very little foliage so all you see are the flowers! We have a very limited quantity of these plants each year. When they are gone, we won't have any more available until the fall!
