Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.I'm excited about this new in-house Anacheilium hybrid! The wonderfully fragrant flowers, which are non-resupinate and about the size of a quarter, have butter-yellow petals with a sprinkling of purple dots. The nicely rounded white lip is accentuated by purple stripes with a hint of yellow in the throat. The flower spikes produce 3-8 flowers.Care: Intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall with a slightly drier rest period in the winter.
These are seed-grown seedlings so the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
Well-established 2-3 pseudobulb division with at least one new growth since repotting (for a total of at least 3 pseudobulbs) in a 3.25" pot.
I think this is one of the most beautiful flowers in the Encyclia "alliance". To me they look almost angelic. 2 Flowers are produced back to back on a 1-4" stem. Flowers are Approx 2" across. They have a strong, rich fragrance (I'd call it peppery honey/jasmine). This is one of our favorite fragrant species! Blooms late spring-early summer.
Care: Intermediate-warm temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and fertilizer, spring-fall and dry periods and between light waterings with no fertilizer in the winter.
A small, epiphytic, vining (the only Anthurium that is a vine), creeper widely distributed from southern Mexico to Central and South America, where it grows in a variety of habitats, at altitudes between sea level and 2700 m. It grows a well-developed system of roots to support the fleshy stems with elliptical leaves, glossy green above and mottled brown below, an upright or sometimes pendent inflorescence followed by very attractive, lavender, pearl-shaped berries. Care: This is an easy to care for plant! Bright indirect light, temps 58°F-80°F, and regular watering and light feeding year-round. When repotting use 50/50 small orchid bark and soil, or any orchid potting medium. May also be potted in a hanging basket or mounted.
This cross produced its first blooms in 2025. They are amazing and keep getting better! First two blooms pictured. This in-house hybrid is seed-grown, meaning there will be variations in the flowers from plant to plant.
Blooming Size in 3.25" pot
Care: Bright, indirect light, good air circulation, and high humidity (around 50-80%). Water generously when the plant is actively growing, allowing the potting medium to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering in the winter. Feed "weakly/weekly" during the growing season.

This species tends to flower all at once (in the spring for us) and puts on quite a show!Care: cool-warm temps, indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. These plants are ready for mounting or hanging baskets (either is preferable to a pot for adult plants). The flowers of this species are unusual, even for a Bulbophyllum! Each flower is almost 3" long from top to bottom. The maroon background is darkest at the top and highlighted by yellow spots (it resembles snakeskin to me) and slowly fades to white on the bottom sepals. It's beautiful and weird at the same time! Flowers in the winter.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps, Indirect light, and moderate year-round food and water.
