Masdevallia schroederiana
Well-established blooming size plants in 2.25" pots. We got our start growing Masdevallias and Draculas and after nearly 30 years this is still one of my favorites! The pictures tell a better story than I can!These are very compact plants, some people call them miniatures. 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. They are particular about their growing conditions but if you have the right environment they grow really fast.

Maxillaria (picta x tenuifolia)
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.

Maxillaria arbuscula
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. Flowers randomly year round, sometimes with a few flowers and other times with a large flush of flowers. 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.

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.

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.
