Well-established blooming-size plant in 2.25" pot. Porroglossum dalstroemii is a rare, miniature epiphytic orchid native to the wet, mossy cloud forests of southern Ecuador. The flowers are non-resupinate and have a "Trap-Door" lip (trapping pollinators to do their thing).  It is a nearly continuous bloomer. Care: Moderate indirect light, keep the roots evenly moist at all times, intermediate temperature (thrives best between 58°F and 72°F (14°C to 22°C)), and benefits from a gentle nighttime temperature drop, requires high, stable humidity levels between 70% and 85%.

Hard to find Prostechea (formerly Encyclia) sima.  These are large plants currently in 3.25" pots but would love a bigger (5"-6") pot or basket. This species produces 3-6 elegant, long-lasting, white flowers per spike. The flowers measure 1"-1.5" and have a light, rich honey-like fragrance. This species flowers from winter to late spring.Care: similar to Oncidiums or Cattleyas. Cool-hot temps. Lots of water when it's warm or the plant is actively growing and keep fairly dry when it's cool in the winter. Very bright indirect light to partial sun.

Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. 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!  Flowers randomly year-round.Prefers cool-intermediate temps, bright indirect light and regular watering year-round.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. Produces 10-15, beautiful quarter-sized, crystalline white flowers per spike that have a red center. These plants are currently large enough to produce multiple flower spikes per season. Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps with good air movement, regular year-round watering, and light feeding. Protect from exessive summer heat as the plant reacts badly to hot stagnant conditions.

Stanhopea embreei ('Lumberjack' x self), recently repotted blooming-size plants in 6" octagonal baskets. Stanhopeas thrive and flower better when overgrown in their basket so these plants are potentially in their "forever home"! The plant picture represents the size of the plant you will receive. The unusual flowers have very heavy substance (they feel like they're made out of plastic) and great conformation. Each spike holds 4 flowers. Each flower is about 4" wide and 5-6" tall. Strong and unusual fragrance that I find pleasant. Care: Shade-indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering, and light feeding year-round.

Blooming size 3 plant bare-root divisions. Please note: the plants will not be blooming upon arrival, the photo shows what to expect as far as plant/division size. Looking to fill that tiny space in your greenhouse? Are you a mini junkie (like me!)? Here is a great one!  Each plant is the size of a quarter with tightly overlapping leaves that grow in a single plane to produce what looks like a tiny palm frond. The plants are connected with a 1” long rhizome to form a branching string of plants. And it has flowers that are as large as the plant itself! Beautiful light pink, crystalline flowers with markings that differ from plant to plant. Flowers for us randomly throughout the year with long-lasting flowers. 2-4 flowers per spike. These plants need little to no potting media. We throw them in empty baskets, string them through our “wire walls” where we hang our mounted plants, etc. Great for mounting, the parent species both grow on twigs in the wild. Usually, one plant has what looks like a precarious hold on a tiny branch and the rest of the plants are dangling in free space! Care: These plants like bright-very bright light and intermediate to hot temps. Water often spring-fall and let them dry out between waterings in the winter.
