  • Dockrillia toressae

    Dockrillia toressae

    Dockrillia (syn. Dendrobium) toressae. Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on madrone. These plants were mounted in the summer of 2020. A true miniature. This wonderful species from Australia has textured, succulent, alternating, tightly-packed leaves that turn red in high light. Over time, the plants form mats that completely colonize their mounts.Most people grow this species mainly for the leaves and growing habit. The tiny flowers are just a bonus. The long-lasting, almost transparent, yellowish-green flowers appear frequently throughout the year. The flowers are large relative to the size of the foliage (but they’re still tiny!) and are long-lasting.It’s a must-have for a collector of miniatures!Care: Dockrillias are famous for being super resilient orchids; this species is no exception! It can handle near-freezing cold and sweltering heat (It experiences both seasonally in its native habitat). It does best in cultivation with cool-warm temps, regular watering spring-fall with less in the winter, and bright indirect light.

  • Last stock! Dracula amaliae - Orchids for the People

    Dracula amaliae

    Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot. This species produces flowers that truly have a monkey face (I actually see baboon)! Most Dracula species have more cryptic color patterns, but not this one! The white flowers with red tepals really stand out. The main body of the flower is 1.5" and the overall length is 4.5". Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. The 4" flower spikes will emerge from around the margin of the plant as well as out of the sides and bottom of the basket and the flowers face down. Must be hung because of the flowering habit.These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want. Care: Cool, moist, and shady is the mantra for Draculas. We give our plants 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.

  • Dracula chimaera - Orchids for the People

    Dracula chimaera

    Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.  This is one of the biggest flowers in the genus Dracula. From top tip to bottom tip these flowers regularly reach 7"! The creamy white sepals are covered with red markings. Hairs cover the sepals but are especially prominent around the margin of the flower. To top it off, the hinged lip is huge and curves up around the edge to form a pouch. Each flower spike will produce 2-6 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Flowers late summer-winter. The 16" flower spikes will emerge from around the margin of the plant as well as out of the sides and bottom of the basket and the flowers face down. Must be hung because of the flowering habit. These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want. Dracula culture is simple; cool, moist, and shady. Minimum low temp of 46 degrees F and a high of around 85. 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. The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac you can pretty much grow them all. Like they’re cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.  With very few exceptions, these plants flower out of the side or bottom of the basket. Regardless of how the spike emerges, we grow all the plants of this genus in net pots.
