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.
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.

Most flower spikes produce 4-7 flowers sequentially. The flowers are medium-sized, 2" from tip to tail. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. 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.

Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot. Beautiful, small (1") white, bell-shaped flowers with random purple markings and a fungus-like lip that is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. Each flower spike produces 1-3 flowers in succession over 4-8 weeks. And, of course, the monkey-like face made up of the lip and column!
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.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
Beautiful honey tones, the hairs completely cover the flower, giving it a pearlescent effect. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. With very few exceptions, species in the genus Dracula produce pendant flower spikes, and we grow all the plants of this genus in hanging net pots.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" 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.
Our newest hybrid! Epicattleya Redwood Sunset (Cattleya sophronitis x Epidendrum parkinsonianum). Well-established, near-blooming seedlings in 4" net pots. These plants should bloom in the next 12-18 months if they are kept happy.When hybridizing, it's rare that the resulting plant and flowers turn out the way you imagine them. Epc Redwood Sunset is exactly what we hoped for! The plant itself looks like a smaller version of Epi parkinsonianum with beautiful long (12+"), fleshy, lance-shaped, pendant blue-green leaves.The flowers have are slightly smaller than Epidendrum parkinsonianum but retain the same shape. But the color? It definitely comes from the Cattleya (Sophronitis) coccinea mom! All of the seedlings that have bloomed so far have produced orangey red flowers. Because these are seedlings and not clones, all the plants produce slightly different flowers. The biggest variable has been in the color, which ranges from orange-red to deep red. All of the plants have produced 2 flowers per spike. and they flower anytime a leaf matures, which can happen multiple times a year.These are durable plants! It needs to hung in a basket or mounted because of its pendant growth habit. They do not like to be repotted or divided and the roots like to hang in the air, similar to a Vanda.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.
Well-established blooming size seedlings in 3.25" pots. This is an in-house hybrid and is available exclusively from Orchids For The People. First blooms for this cross came in early 2025. The plant looks like a reed stem epidendrum but with very fleshy, almost succulent leaves. Growing conditions: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding throughout the growing season (spring-fall) with a slightly dry rest period in the winter.
Epidendrum neoporpax. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
We love this plant! It mats into a specimen in a short time. Flowers several times a year and we call it the "baboon butt" flower for obvious (to me :) reasons. This is a great orchid for vivariums and small growing spaces!
Care: Easy to grow in moderately bright to partial shade conditions. Like to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Moderate water year-round.
Epigeneium nakaharaei. An interesting and easy-to-grow scrambling miniature. Some now consider this species a Dendrobium. Does well in a pot or basket and loves to be mounted. Very lightly fragrant.
Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on Madrone.Beautiful white, crystalline white petals and sepals with a purple lip. The upper sepal twists and juts forward and resembles a mohawk. Very light fragrance. Spikes produce up to 20 flowers when fully mature (the plants in this listing are seedlings flowering for the first time last year). Terete leaves are 6-8" long. Branches when mature and develops into an open, shrubby plant. Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular (every 1-2 days) watering spring-fall with a slightly drier winter rest. Regular light-feeding spring-fall. Best mounted or grown in a basket.
Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.
We bred 2 of our nicest plants to bring you these blooming-sized seedlings. There has been a little bit of diversity in color patterns in these plants, but the majority have been solid pink. Great size in the flowers (not award-winning huge, but then neither is the price) and the plants are stout and vigorous.
Flower spikes are 2-4' tall and produce 4-6 flowers each. Flowers smell faintly of vanilla, especially after being watered.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps (can be grown cooler than cattleya), regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a moderately dry rest period in the winter.
