Dracula Jake Sprankle (Dracula bellerphon x vampira). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
These plants are from seed so color and shape range the full spectrum between vampira and bellerphon! I added several pictures of various plants to give you a sense of what the flowers will look like. The fungus-like lip is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. I particularly like the ones with corkscrew pigtails! Sorry, we cannot pick out particular flower characteristics for individual buyers.
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.
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.
Well established blooming size seedling in 3.25" pot. Very limited quantities.One of our own hybrids that we think is going to get better with age. The flowers are shaped like E radiata but bigger. The color is definitely influenced by C patrocinii, I would describe it as bluish purple. Most of the plants produced 3 flowers per spike the first time they flowered so we think flower count will increase as the plants mature.This plant is easy to grow, compact and unique!Our hybrids are created from superior plants that we have acquired over the years. We breed for vigor, quality and size.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.A prolific flowerer spring-fall. Each flower spike will bear 5-10 small (1/2") showy flowers.

Bulbophyllum lopalanthum (syn. Sunipia grandiflora). Mounted on madrone. This is a large, well-established blooming size plant. This plant is fully rooted to the mount, no strings or wires to detract from the overall beauty of the plant. Mounted on a nicely gnarled 5" long madrone branch.
Here's one for you mini and Bulbo growers! A beautiful plant with large (for the size of the plant) interesting flowers.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot.
The flowers aren't much to look at but pound for pound, this species is one of the worst smelling orchids I own. Smells like dead manure. If you like stink, or are looking for a gift for someone you despise, this guy is for you. Easy to grow and flowers way more often than I want it to!Care: Regular watering and light feeding year round, indirect light to shade, and intermediate to warm temps.

Flowers randomly Spring-Fall in our nursery.
Care: Intermediate-hot temps, indirect light and year round regular watering.
