Coelogyne Unchained Melody (C cristata x C flaccida). Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot, with at least one new growth.Long-lasting crystalline white flowers (3" across) have a nice contrasting light yellow throat. Spikes will have up to 15 or so flowers on large plants. Very fragrant with a scent similar to narcissus.This plant is a fast grower, with each bulb producing 2 or 3 new bulbs. Flowers in the late winter and early fall.
Well-established, small blooming size plants in 2” pots.
This is a great little plant, suitable for a beginner but cute enough that it’s a great plant for any collector! It has a rambling habit that makes it well suited for a hanging basket or pot. It makes for a superb specimen plant due to its small stature and its tendency to produce large flushes of beautiful, large (for the size of the plant), fragrant flowers all at once. The flowers have bubble gum pink sepals and petals and a fimbriated white lip with a large central orange disc. Flowers late winter-spring.
Care: Bright indirect light. Prefers warmer, wet summers and cooler, drier winters. Fertilize regularly when actively growing.
Big, well-established blooming size plant in 3.25" pots.This species has stiff, narrow 8"-12" leaves. Flower spikes are 10"-12" and produce many small yellow flowers that are concentrated on the upper 1/3 of the spike.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). They are easy to grow and get large fast. Plus, when you have a specimen size plant in 6 or 8" pot in flower they are a sight to behold! I've seen plants with upwards of 100 arching inflorescences in flower at the same time!
Care: Cool-intermedite temps, indirect light, and regular year-round watering and light fertilizer.

Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Dendrochilums are often called 'grass orchids' for their leaves or 'fox tail orchids' for their beautiful displays of long, many-flowered spikes. D steophyllum is a medium-small (6" tall) sized Dendrochilum with spikes that will carry 40-50 white flowers. They tend to bloom multiple times a year, summer-winter.Care: Cool-warm temps, indirect light, and regular watering, and light feeding year-round.
Blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
These plants are often called Grass Orchids (because of the leaves) or Fox Tail Orchids (because of the inflorescence). I like these tiny plants for a number of reasons. They are easy to grow and get large, for a miniature, fast. A specimen-size plant fits easily in a 3.25" pot. Our specimen-size plant produces hundreds of tiny arching inflorescences in flower at the same time! That's thousands of tiny flowers open at the same time!
Care tip: These plants should never dry out completely.
This is one of the bigger-flowered Dendrochilum species. Each long, gracefully arching inflorescence produce up to 30 flowers each. This plant is quite a site when it reaches even close to specimen size when blooming! Generally blooms late winter-spring.
Care: intermediate-warm temps, bright indirect light, and plenty of water year-round.
Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
This species produces small (about the size of a nickel) flowers that truly have a monkey face! Flowers in the summer for us. The short flower spikes emerge around the margin of the plant. The flowers tend to open all at the same time so it looks like a whole pack of monkeys (albeit tiny monkeys!) staring at you! Not only that, each flower spike will produce 2-5 flowers in succession over a period of a couple of months. Best if hung up in a basket but this is one of the few Dracula species that can be grown in a pot on a table.

Care: Minimum low temp of 46° F and a high of around 85°F. Anything over 80°, keep the plant really wet. We like to water them morning and evening at least a couple of times a week in the summer. Folks with greenhouses that have swamp coolers grow them directly in front of the cooler. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 2.25" pot. A plant this size will typically produce 20-30 flowers when it blooms. Very limited quantities!
A small, fast-growing plant that flowers repeatedly late fall-spring. Great for terrariums, vivariums, small grow spaces, and anyone who loves minis!
This is a lovely miniature species! Tiny Masdevallia-like flowers that have a light green background with red spots. Rarely seen for sale and is a great addition to any Pleurothallid or cool climate collection.
Care: Best kept on the cool side (but doesn't mind intermediate temps) and moist.
Well-established blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
This stout, medium-sized species produces 5-12 green quarter-sized flowers on a 12"-15" spike. The flowers have an odd smell, but you need to get close to smell it. Flowers in the winter.Care: Bright indirect light, cool-hot temps, and regular year-round watering and light feeding.Flower picture credit: Elena Gaillard
Epidendrum neoporpax. Well-established blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
We love this plant! It mats into a specimen in a short time. Flowers several times a year and we call it the "baboon butt" flower for obvious (to me :) reasons. This is a great orchid for vivariums and small growing spaces!
Care: Easy to grow in moderately bright to partial shade conditions. Like to be mounted either vertically or horizontally. Moderate water all year.
Well-established, near-blooming seedlings in 4" net pots. The newest leaf on these plants is 8-10" long. These plants should bloom next year if they are taken care of. This plant produces beautiful long (18+"), fleshy, folded, pendant blue-green leaves. The large flowers have a white lip and yellow-green petals. There are usually 3-5 flowers per stem and they are fragrant (citrus/jasmine smell), especially at night. Usually flowers anytime a leaf matures, which can happen multiple times a year. The mother plant was collected in Nicaragua in 1971 (it still has the original tag!) and is a prolific flowerer!This plant needs to be hung in a basket or mounted because of its pendant growth habit. The buyer will need to provide a hanger or a perch where the pendant leaves can hang down.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.
