Stanhopea embreei
Stanhopea embreei ('Lumberjack' x self), recently repotted blooming-size plants in 6" octagonal baskets. Stanhopeas thrive and flower better when overgrown in their basket so these plants are potentially in their "forever home"! The plant picture represents the size of the plant you will receive. The unusual flowers have very heavy substance (they feel like they're made out of plastic) and great conformation. Each spike holds 4 flowers. Each flower is about 4" wide and 5-6" tall. Strong and unusual fragrance that I find pleasant. Care: Shade-indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.

Zootrophion dayanum
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This plant has flowers that never truly open. Instead a tiny slit forms in the side of the flower allowing the tiny gnats that pollinate it in. The flowers are dark purple on the outside and gold with purple dots on the inside. The flowers measure just under an inch long and last 6 weeks. Flowers in the late fall. These plants grow well in cool to warm temps with medium/low light and should not be allowed to dry out completely. We grow ours in bright indirect light which makes the leaves turn purple. When these plants are grown in less light the leaves will remain green and the plant will still flower prodigously. If you're into Pleurothallids, rare plants or the weird orchids, this is a good one!
