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. 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!

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).

Leaves are approx. 4-6 inches tall and the sturdy flower spikes are generally a couple of inches taller (tall enough to display the flowers nicely but not so tall as to be susceptible to breakage). The tricolor flowers are dark red on the sides, crystalline white toward the bottom and egg yolk yellow in the throat and tepals. Flowers are approx. 3-4 inches tall, tip to tip. Flowers 2 times a year, winter and summer.Like most Masdevallias, this species prefers cool-intermediate temps, moist and shady growing environment with plenty of air movement.
