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.
Synonyms: Encyclia cochleata, Prosthechea cochleata
Commonly known as the black orchid or the cockleshell orchid, around our nursery it is affectionately referred to as the octopus orchid. It is also the national flower of Belize. This is a very nice outcross of 2 great, large flowered parents. One has wide sepals and the other plant has nice long twisted sepals. Both have great color and are above average size. Anacheilium cochleatum randomly produces flower spikes year round, mostly spring-fall. 5-20+ flowers develop sequentially over a long period of time. Easy to grow and a prolific flowerer, it loves to be treated just like a Cattleya.
Care: Intermediate-warm temperatures, bright indirect sunlight and regular year round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. For a compact (not mini!) Catt hybrid this plant has pretty big flowers! The 4-5" wide crystalline white flowers have a beautiful gold throat that contrasts nicely with the rest of the flower.Care: Bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall with a slightly drier winter rest.
Our newest registered hybrid! Brassidium Charlotte, Oncidium Keighleyensis x Brassia verrucosa. Well-established, blooming-size seedling in a 3.25" pot.
Each flower spike produces 12-18 star-shaped flowers that are 2-3" across and 3" from top to bottom. Because these plants are seed-grown and not mericlones, each one produces different colors and spotting patterns. All so far have produced flowers with a long lip pinched in the center, giving them a curvy figure-eight look. I have included several pictures of different plants in flower so you can get an idea of the flower variation.
Please note: We cannot pick out certain traits (color, spotting, etc) for the buyer. This is a "grower's choice" listing.
Care: Cool-warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding year-round with slightly longer watering intervals in the winter.
Bulbophyllum elassoglossum - large, well-established, blooming-size plant in a 4" net pot.The striking blooms are quite large, for the diminutive size of the plant. The sepals are a solid red and the white petals are covered in red dots. Similar to its close relative Bulbophyllum xanthoacron, the flowers open in the morning and close each afternoon.Care: Intermediate-hot growing, prefers high humidity and indirect light/shade (similar to a Phalaenopsis), and year-round regular watering and feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. Limited quantity available!This is a large-leafed (16"+) bulbophyllum that stays very compact for its size. This species does equally well mounted, in hanging baskets, or in a pot. Flower spikes that are nearly 2' long and covered with up to 50 small, white, pleasantly-fragrant flowers (unlike most other Bulbophyllums). 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.
In 3.25" pot.
Beautiful semi-peloric flowers! The lip and petals are purple and the sepals are green with purple spots. New growth has dark pigment spots which is indicative of spotted flowers. Fast growing and showing great hybrid vigor!Please note: These are blooming-size seed grown plants, not mericlone plants. Each plant will be unique. So far, all have followed a theme: semi-peloric with purple petals and lip, and green or white sepals with purple dots.Care: Bright indirect light, regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a slight drying period in the winter.
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. Plant in 3.25" pot.
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.

A re-creation of Coelogyne Lyme Bay (Coelogyne (speciosa x usitana)), this hybrid has 2 to 6 flowers per spike, and 2 spikes per pseudobulb. The lightly fragrant flowers arise from 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 large and dramatic, about 9 cm in diameter. The lip is a rusty orange-brown, with white petals and sepals.
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. Grows best in a basket.
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.
