Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes. They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant). In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style! Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.

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.

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.

Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.  The coconut cream pie orchid! With some orchids, they're fragrant but it's a stretch to call them "chocolate" or "vanilla". With this plant, it smells like there is a pie in the oven! This plant is one of our favorites. It grows fast and flowers well when treated nicely. The flowers are small (1.5" across) but a plant in a 6" pot may have 100 or more at the same time. Care: Cool to warm climate, bright indirect light, let dry out between light waterings in winter.

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.
