Well-established, blooming-size plant in a 3.25" pot. We bred 2 of our nicest plants to bring you these blooming-sized seedlings. There has been a little bit of diversity in color patterns in these plants, but the majority have been solid pink. Great size in the flowers (not award-winning huge, but then neither is the price) and the plants are stout and vigorous. Flower spikes are 2-4' tall and produce 4-6 flowers each. Flowers smell faintly of vanilla, especially after being watered. Care: Bright indirect light, cool-warm temps (can be grown cooler than cattleya), regular watering and light feeding spring-fall with a moderately dry rest period in the winter.

1 bulb, 1 lead bare root division of Schomburgkia (Laelia) superbiens alba. This plant came from the same seed pod as  'Don Hubert Cross' CBM/AOS but has never been given a clonal name. It will need to be potted in a 6” pot or basket. The flowers are pure crystalline-white with a splash of gold on the lip and are 6-8” across. The flower spikes start developing Nov-December and can be as long as 12 feet by the time the 8-15 flowers open in the early spring. As you can see in the pics, it is best grown by folks who have a lot of room! If you live someplace it doesn’t freeze, this plant grows great outdoors. Care is similar to other Laelias: very bright-full sun, cool-warm temps, and lots of water in the spring-summer and very little water in the fall-winter. Please note - this plant will ship at the "2 plant" rate because of its size. My mother plant was the original plant (not a cutting) that was born in 1964! In 2020 we had to refurbish the greenhouse and as a result ended up dividing the plant.  Prior to that, the plant has not been repotted since the 60's. There is a picture below of me in front of the plant. Check out the video of us tearing it apart!

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot. This is one of my favorite "weird" orchids! The growth habit is unusual in that it climbs, producing new pseudobulbs above the last mature pseudobulb on stiff, short rhizomes. They appear to be monopodial (they're not, they also produce new growth at the base of the plant, but most of the new growth emerges at the top of the plant). In addition to the weird growth habit, the flowers are bizarre! Many (30-50+) small, fragrant white flowers emerge from around the base of new pseudobulbs. It looks like they are exploding out of the plant, alien-style! Care: Cool-warm temps, shade-indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.

Large, well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.  The coconut cream pie orchid! With some orchids, they're fragrant but it's a stretch to call them "chocolate" or "vanilla". With this plant, it smells like there is a pie in the oven! This plant is one of our favorites. It grows fast and flowers well when treated nicely. The flowers are small (1.5" across) but a plant in a 6" pot may have 100 or more at the same time. Care: Cool to warm climate, bright indirect light, let dry out between light waterings in winter.
