Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Known as the Beautiful Coelogyne, this species blooms sequentially with 1 to 3 flowers per spike. The musky scented flowers arise out of the center of a new pseudobulb growth and can bloom at any time of the year but most often in spring and summer. The flowers are about 6 cm in diameter. The lip is white with orange-brown or dark brown spots. The large side lobes of the lip are brown or red and curve up to form a tube that almost completely covers the spine.
Care: Cool to hot temps, indirect-bright indirect light, regular year-round watering and light feeding. The warmer the growing conditions, the more often it should be watered.

Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Small, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.This is one of the first orchids I grew as a kid in southern CA and is still one of the hardiest and most forgiving orchids you can grow! D kingianum stays very compact and is happy pretty much anywhere that receives moderately bright light.This species flowers late winter/early spring and produces an abundance of fragrant, long-lasting, dime-sized purple and white flowers.If you want to try your hand at orchids, start here!Care: Bright indirect light, moist and warm-hot in the summer, cool and drier in the winter. Light, regular fertilizing spring-late summer
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.
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.
Care: Minimum low temp of 46° 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.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot. This is a unique and interesting Dracula. The first thing that stands out is the fact that it sends flower spikes up, not straight down, which is rare for this genus. The second thing you notice is the flower itself. The flower hangs down from the spike and the sepals are fused into a lantern-like shape. This, along with the bright orange color, draws a person in for a closer look. Then you notice the inside of the flower is completely covered in fuzzy hair! All in all, a neat addition to any cool to intermediate collection.Dracula sodiroi is also easier to grow than most Draculas because, since the flower spike grow upwards, you can grow it in a pot rather than a basket. This makes it easier to keep moist which, along with high humidity and good air movement, is essential for keeping this entire genus happy and healthy.
Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. A plant this size will typically produce 20-30 flowers when it blooms. Very limited quantities!
A small, fast-growing plant that flowers repeatedly late fall-spring. Great for terrariums, vivariums, small grow spaces, and anyone who loves minis!
This is a lovely miniature species! Tiny Masdevallia-like flowers that have a light green background with red spots. Rarely seen for sale and is a great addition to any Pleurothallid or cool climate collection.
Care: Best kept on the cool side (but doesn't mind intermediate temps) and moist.
Big, chunky, well-established, flowering-sized plants in 3.25" pots.
This new cross is another great plant for beginning orchid growers! This is a compact reed stem-type epidendrum that produces nickel-sized, purplish-pink flowers. Reed stem Epidendrums are a wonderful addition to any orchid collection because of their ease of growing, their very long flowering cycle, and their massive variety of colors. Produces a flower spike at the top of new growths which continues to elongate and produce flowers sequentially from bottom to top over a period of months!We're not quite sure how tall these plants will get but they seem to be on the "compact" size for reed stem Epis. They have already flowered at less than 18" tall.
Care: Very easy to grow. Cool-Warm temps,regular watering and light feeding spring-summer with a drier rest period and no food in the winter. Essentially the same as any other reed stem epi.
Well-established, near-blooming size (I expect them to bloom next year in our greenhouse) seedling in a 3.25" pot. This flask was treated with colchicine to promote tetraploidy (4n) which produces larger, more robust plants and flowers. Tetraploidy is not guaranteed with this treatment but is much more likely.This is possibly the coolest (and hardest to find) species in the genus Epidendrum! Large (over 3") for an Epi, The green and purple flower has a super frilly lip that gave this species its name. Care: This species prefers a shady place to live, cool-intermediate temps, and regular watering and light feeding year-round.
