Large, well-established blooming size division in a 3.25" pot.
Flower spikes develop in the fall-winter and carry 1-3 silver quarter-sized creamy yellow flowers. The lip is very dark brick-red and is hairy.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Near blooming size division (2 old bulbs and at least 1 new growth) in a 3.25" pot.Beautiful, pendant flower spikes develop in the fall and carry 5-10 silver dollar-sized fragrant flowers. Flowers are light yellow with gold highlights on the lip and column.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Coelogyne Unchained Melody (C cristata x C flaccida). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot, with at least one new growth.Long-lasting crystalline white flowers (3" across) have a nice contrasting light yellow throat. Spikes will have up to 15 or so flowers on large plants. Very fragrant with a scent similar to narcissus.This plant is a fast grower, with each bulb producing 2 or 3 new bulbs. Flowers in the late winter and early fall.
Well-established size plant in a 3.25" pot. One of our newest hybrids! We have been impressed with this cross's vigor and ability to flower at a very young age.
These plants will stay compact and relatively small (we expect them to max out at about a foot tall). Produces 1-3 1" pink flowers at each node on leafless, mature canes. The older, leafless canes produce flowers for several years so the show just keeps getting better! This plant does well mounted, in hanging baskets or in a pot.
Care: cool-hot (doesn't mind slightly cooler temps in the winter), bright indirect light, wet spring-fall with regular feeding, and a drier winter rest period.
Dendrobium (speciosum x tetragonum) x D tetragonum: Blooming size in 3.25" pot
We remade this beautiful hybrid a couple of years ago and have been very happy with the results. These plants started blooming at a really small size and have remained compact (the new canes are currently 4-6" long). And the stems are square! D. tetragonum (one of the parents) has slender, square stems but these are big blocky square stems.The star-shaped flowers are yellow with beautiful red markings on the sepals, petals, and lip. The number of markings vary from plant to plant. Plus, the flowers are huge for the size of the plant! The first time they flowered each spike had 2 flowers and this time around they had 4 so chances are the flower count will continue to go up as the plants mature. Care: Bright indirect light, moist and warm in the summer, cool and drier in the winter.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2" pot.
Dendrochilums are often called 'grass orchids' for their leaves or 'fox tail orchids' for their beautiful displays of long, many-flowered spikes. D steophyllum is a medium-small (6" tall) sized Dendrochilum with spikes that will carry 40-50 white flowers. They tend to bloom multiple times a year, summer-winter.Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light, and regular watering, and light feeding year-round.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). I like these tiny plants for a number of reasons. They are easy to grow and get large, for a miniature, fast. A specimen-size plant fits easily in a 4" pot. Our specimen-size plant produces hundreds of tiny arching inflorescences in flower at the same time! That's thousands of tiny flowers open at the same time!
Care tip: These plants should never dry out completely.
Huge blooming size plant in a 3" net pot. The last time they bloomed they produced upwards of 100 flowers all at once! these are 10-year-old divisions from the same plant. The plant shipped will not be in bud or flower at the time of shipping.This species produces small (about the size of a nickel) flowers that truly have a monkey face! Flowers in the summer for us. The short flower spikes emerge around the margin of the plant. The flowers tend to open all at the same time so it looks like a whole pack of monkeys (albeit tiny monkeys!) staring at you! Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Best if hung up in a basket but this is one of the few Dracula species that can be grown in a pot on a table.Care: Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°F. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We like to water them morning and evening at least a couple of times a week in the summer. Folks with greenhouses that have swamp coolers grow them directly in front of the cooler. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
Dracula Jake Sprankle (Dracula bellerphon x vampira). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
These plants are from seed so color and shape range the full spectrum between vampira and bellerphon! I added several pictures of various plants to give you a sense of what the flowers will look like. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. I particularly like the ones with corkscrew pigtails! Sorry, we cannot pick out particular flower characteristics for individual buyers.
Care: cool, moist, and shady. Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We give our Draculas lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac you can pretty much grow them all. Like their cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.
Please note that plant may not currently be in spike or flower when shipped.
This species produces very small (about the size of a dime) flowers that truly have a monkey face! Flowers late winter for us and a plant the size of the one in this listing can produce 20-40 flower spikes all at once. Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. The short flower spikes emerge around the margin of the plant and the flowers face down. When seen from below it looks like a pack of mini monkeys staring down at you! Best if hung up in a basket but this is one of the few Dracula species that can be grown in a pot on a table.These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.Dime-sized flowers with .5" tepals and the sepals are hairy on the inside. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. Can bloom any time of the year!Care: Shade-indirect light, cool-intermediate temps, high humidity and good air movement, water enough to keep moist at all times and light feeding year-round.
