We grow lots of intermediate growing orchids! It's a perfect fit for our coastal Northern California weather. Nighttime temps for these plants range from 55°F-62°F and daytime temps from 75°F-85°F.
Well-established near blooming size (1-2 years), 3+ pseudobulb seedling with at least one new growth since repotting (for a total of at least 3 pseudobulbs). We selfed our best Cattleya harrisoniana so you can have one too! These have been vigorous, fast-growing seedlings.
Cattleya harrisoniana produces 4-6 (per spike) beautiful, shiny, very dark pink/light purple flowers that measure 5"-6" across. The lip is slightly lighter with a ruffled margin.
The flower picture is the parent plant, and the flowers on these babies should be nearly identical.
Care: Intermediate-warm temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and a slightly drier, fertilizer-free winter rest period.
Well-established near blooming size (1-2 years), 3+ pseudobulb seedling with at least one new growth since repotting (for a total of at least 3 pseudobulbs). These have been vigorous, fast-growing seedlings, and we are looking forward to seeing the results of this unique cross!
We crossed our best Cattleya harrisoniana with our best Panarica (used to be Encyclia) prismatocarpa. Our intention was to get C. harrisoniana size flowers that are spotted. What we actually get, who knows! If you are willing to take a chance and wait a while, you may get an amazing plant for a great price!
Care: Intermediate-warm temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and a slightly drier, fertilizer-free winter rest period.
The flower pictures are the parents of this cross. The plant picture is representative of the size plant buyer will receive.
Well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.
These vigorous, fast-growing hybrids have produced really lovely flowers! Each flower spike produces 2-4, 3" flowers that look almost identical to E. brassavolae except they are bluish-purple. Flowers late summer. Because these plants were raised from seeds and are not mericloned, the flowers will vary slightly from plant to plant.
Our hybrids are created from superior plants that we have acquired over the years. We breed for vigor, quality, and size.
Care: bright-very bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and feeding spring-fall. A rest period in the winter is advisable with less water and no food.
Cattleya Mariae Piae (Cattleya forbesii x C purpurata). Blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot.All plants available have previously bloomed and currently have at least 1 new growth developingThis hybrid was first registered in 1897 and we liked it so much we brought it back! Using our finest parent plants, this is the result. The beautiful white petals have delicate pink veins and the large, rolled lip starts out white and turns purple with a white margin.
Care: bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall, and a slightly drier rest period in the winter.
Large, well-established blooming size division in a 3.25" pot.
Flower spikes develop in the fall-winter and carry 1-3 silver quarter-sized creamy yellow flowers. The lip is very dark brick-red and is hairy.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
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.
Near blooming size division (2 old bulbs and at least 1 new growth) in a 3.25" pot.Beautiful, pendant flower spikes develop in the fall and carry 5-10 silver dollar-sized fragrant flowers. Flowers are light yellow with gold highlights on the lip and column.
Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Coelogyne Unchained Melody (C cristata x C flaccida). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot, with at least one new growth.Long-lasting crystalline white flowers (3" across) have a nice contrasting light yellow throat. Spikes will have up to 15 or so flowers on large plants. Very fragrant with a scent similar to narcissus.This plant is a fast grower, with each bulb producing 2 or 3 new bulbs. Flowers in the late winter and early fall.
We've done the chore of deflasking, all you have to do is pot them up! Well-established seedlings. This is a complete flask (30+ plants) that was compotted in the March 2025.
Great for retailers or orchid societies!
Anguloa dubia orchid is famous for its fragrant, tulip-like flowers (akin to wintergreen and Campho Phenique). This deciduous species produces new growths spring-fall. 2 or more flowers emerge from the base of each new growth. Flowers last 6-8 weeks.Care: Regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a dry winter rest. Bright indirect light and cool-warm temps.
