I'm not even going to try to describe these flowers because it won't do them justice! I'll let the pictures do the talking. I will tell you they measure just over 1" in length. Here at the nursery we just refer to them as "the alien cockroaches". Weird and eyecatching and at the same time very pretty!

Well-established, small blooming size plants in 2” pots.
This is a great little plant, suitable for a beginner but cute enough that it’s a great plant for any collector! It has a rambling habit that makes it well suited for a hanging basket or pot. It makes for a superb specimen plant due to its small stature and its tendency to produce large flushes of beautiful, large (for the size of the plant), fragrant flowers all at once. The flowers have bubble gum pink sepals and petals and a fimbriated white lip with a large central orange disc. Flowers late winter-spring.
Care: Bright indirect light. Prefers warmer, wet summers and cooler, drier winters. Fertilize regularly when actively growing.

Big, well established blooming size plant in 3.25" pots.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). They are easy to grow and get large fast. Plus, when you have a specimen size plant in 6 or 8" pot in flower they are a sight to behold! I've seen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time!
Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light and regular year round watering and light fertilizer.

The plant reaches a height of 2-3 feet and has a .5-1' flower spike that produces an abundance of fragrant 1" white flowers that form a loose sphere similar to many Epidendrum species. Flowers continue to be produced from the top of the inflorescence over a period of 4-8 weeks. This species produces many keikeis along the stems as well as old flower spikes.

Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
This species produces small (about the size of a nickel) flowers that truly have a monkey face! Flowers in the summer for us. The short flower spikes emerge around the margin of the plant. The flowers tend to open all at the same time so it looks like a whole pack of monkeys (albeit tiny monkeys!) staring at you! Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Best if hung up in a basket but this is one of the few Dracula species that can be grown in a pot on a table.

Care: Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°F. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We like to water them morning and evening at least a couple of times a week in the summer. Folks with greenhouses that have swamp coolers grow them directly in front of the cooler. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
