Very hardy plants that produce flowers throughout the year (Whenever new growths reach blooming size). Pleasantly fragrant, especially late in the day and early evening.
Care: Intermediate to warm, bright indirect light, regular watering, and light feeding throughout the year with a drier rest period in Winter.
A small, epiphytic, vining (the only Anthurium that is a vine), creeper widely distributed from southern Mexico to Central and South America, where it grows in a variety of habitats, at altitudes between sea level and 2700 m. It grows a well-developed system of roots to support the fleshy stems with elliptical leaves, glossy green above and mottled brown below, an upright or sometimes pendent inflorescence followed by very attractive, lavender, pearl-shaped berries. Care: This is an easy to care for plant! Bright indirect light, temps 58°F-80°F, and regular watering and light feeding year-round. When repotting use 50/50 small orchid bark and soil, or any orchid potting medium. May also be potted in a hanging basket or mounted.
1-2 flowers are produced on new pseudobulbs in the spring and summer. Each white flower is approximately 3" across. The purple lip is covered with white hairs. The flowers are beautiful and the fruity fragrance is amazing!
Care: Intermediate to warm temps, bright indirect light, regular watering, and a light feeding spring-fall with a much drier winter rest period.
One word of caution: these plants do not like to be repotted as they get older (they'll stop flowering for a year or so) so don't do it often, do it gently, and use a really good medium when you do it! Also, this orchid grows warm and needs a dry winter rest after which, one should resume watering and fertilizer as the new growth appears in the spring.
An Orchids for the People in-house hybrid!A very nice compact, upright, easy-to-grow orchid. The flowers are 1.5" wide with yellow petals and a wide, pointed white lip. The petals, sepals, and lip all have purple spots radiating from the center of the flower. The flower spikes produce 3-8 flowers.Care: Bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering, and light feeding spring-fall, with a drier rest period and no food in the winter.
Brassocattleya Valencia Beauty (Brassavola nodosa x Cattleya Interglossa). Well-established seedlings in 2.25" pots. 6-12 months from blooming.This is a rare plant and I currently don't have any photos but a google image search will find a few. I did include a picture of each parent. This is a remake of Brassocattleya Valencia Beauty using 2 great, large-flowered parents. The flowers will be star-shaped with long, slender petals and sepals and a broad, flat lip. The sepals and petals will be very light purple-pink with the possibility of dark, random purple spotting. The lip will also be light purple-pink but with many more purple markings. There is the possibility these flowers will be fragrant.Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall, and let dry between light waterings in the winter.
Bulbophyllum Daisy Chain (B makoyanum x cumingii). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
These are easy, fast-growing orchids. Each spike holds 8-10 flowers in an umbel that looks like part of a daisy. The fringed lips are hinged and move around in the slightest breeze. The entire umbel is approx. 2" across. Blooms twice a year, summer and winter.
Care: Intermediate-warm temps, shade-bright indirect light, regular year-round watering, and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
The golden-yellow flowers are tiny but the 18" flower spike is covered in them! And they smell good too. The flowers mature from the bottom of the spike up and last 18-28 days
Care: Intermediate-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.
Well-established blooming size division in 3" clear net pot.Blooms randomly year round with single flowered inflorescence that bears a burnt orange flower with dark spots. Flowers are about the size of a quarter.
Care: Cool to intermediate temps, and likes shade to indirect sun. Regular year-round watering with light feeding.
Well-established near-blooming size seedlings in 2.25" pots. If treated properly, these plants will bloom next year!Flower pictures are from both parent plants. We expect the plant size (compact), flower shape and size (1"), and a number of flowers per spike (5-10) to be similar to the E radiata parent while the color should be a little lighter and have spots (from the C Interglossa parent). These seedlings may even be fragrant. Remember, this is our best guess and everything will vary from seedling to seedling.
Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps, regular watering and fertilizer spring-fall and let dry between light waterings in the winter.
Cattleya Interglossa x Panarica brassavolae. Well-established seedling size plant in 2.25" (1-2 years from blooming), and near blooming size plants 3.25" pot (may bloom this year, and definitely in 2023).
We have been so happy with past crosses of interesting Catts and Panarica brassavolae that we did some more! Many of the past crosses have inherited the larger sepals and petals of the Catt and the showy lip of P brassavolae. Not only that, the colors have been very showy and many are fragrant. WIth this cross we are hoping for the addition of spots!Care: bright-very bright indirect light, intermediate-warm temps, regular watering and feeding spring-fall. A rest period in the winter is advisable with less water and no food.
Coelogyne mooreana ('Brockhurst' FCC/RHS x Jungle collected clone). Two sizes:
Well-established blooming size 3 bulb division in a 3.25"pot. Please note: we cut all the top 1/2 of all old leaves off. This prevents the plant from flopping around while new roots anchor it.
2.25" seedling
Flower multiple times a year. These plants are somewhat hard to find and we are happy to have them available, if only for a short time! Seedlings are expected to bloom in 12-18 months from blooming.The flowers on these plants are better than'Brockhurst' FCC/RHS!
Beautiful flower from Vietnam. These grow best in cool to intermediate temps with partial shade. The crystalline white flowers have an orange throat. Beautiful fragrance! Each spike carries 3-8 flowers. Spring-Fall bloomer.
Cool to warm temps, likes to be watered year-round, and prefers bright indirect light.
Dendrobium (speciosum x tetragonum) x D tetragonum: Blooming size in 3.25" pot
We remade this beautiful hybrid a couple of years ago and have been very happy with the results. These plants started blooming at a really small size and have remained compact (the new canes are currently 4-6" long). And the stems are square! D. tetragonum (one of the parents) has slender, square stems but these are big blocky square stems.The star-shaped flowers are yellow with beautiful red markings on the sepals, petals, and lip. The number of markings vary from plant to plant. Plus, the flowers are huge for the size of the plant! The first time they flowered each spike had 2 flowers and this time around they had 4 so chances are the flower count will continue to go up as the plants mature. Care: Bright indirect light, moist and warm in the summer, cool and drier in the winter.
