Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes. They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant). In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style! Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.

Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.  The coconut cream pie orchid! With some orchids, they're fragrant but it's a stretch to call them "chocolate" or "vanilla". With this plant, it smells like there is a pie in the oven! This plant is one of our favorites. It grows fast and flowers well when treated nicely. The flowers are small (1.5" across) but a plant in a 6" pot may have 100 or more at the same time. Care: Cool to warm climate, bright indirect light, let dry out between light waterings in winter.

This is Miltonia (regnelii v alba x (spectabilis v moreliana x Seminole Blood). I know it's a mouthful but we haven't registered a name for it yet! Large, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pot.  I love this new cross we made! Every single plant has unique flowers! All have produced 3-6 flowers on their first flower spike. Flowers have been 3"-4" across. The majority of plants have had spotted flowers. The plant flowers in the late summer/early fall. I have included several pictures of flowers that have already bloomed to show a representation of the flowers we have seen so far. Please note: I cannot pick a particular flower pattern. Later in the season I will have auctions for individual plants with select flowers on our eBay site (Orchids for the People). Select plants will be considerably more expensive! Care: Intermediate - warm temps, bright indirect sun, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.

Newly divided blooming size plants in 3" net pots.   An uncommon orchid that is also easy to grow. The only species in this genus, N. pulchella is a creeper that grows into a mat. Can be hung up in its current basket and allowed to trail where it wishes but also adapts easily to being mounted vertically or horizontally. This species doesn't need repotting very often and doesn't need a large mount, pot or basket because the majority of the plant just dangles in open space! Flowers in the Fall with bright lavendar flowers.Care: Can be grown cool-warm and prefers intermediate light. We water them a lot in the Spring/Summer and only a little in the Winter.
