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.

Our newest hybrid! Epicattleya Redwood Sunset (Cattleya sophronitis x Epidendrum parkinsonianum). Well-established, near-blooming seedlings in 4" net pots. These plants should bloom in the next 12-18 months if they are kept happy.When hybridizing, it's rare that the resulting plant and flowers turn out the way you imagine them. Epc Redwood Sunset is exactly what we hoped for! The plant itself looks like a smaller version of Epi parkinsonianum with beautiful long (12+"), fleshy, lance-shaped, pendant blue-green leaves.The flowers have are slightly smaller than Epidendrum parkinsonianum but retain the same shape. But the color? It definitely comes from the Cattleya (Sophronitis) coccinea mom! All of the seedlings that have bloomed so far have produced orangey red flowers. Because these are seedlings and not clones, all the plants produce slightly different flowers. The biggest variable has been in the color, which ranges from orange-red to deep red. All of the plants have produced 2 flowers per spike. and they flower anytime a leaf matures, which can happen multiple times a year.These are durable plants! It needs to hung in a basket or mounted because of its pendant growth habit. They do not like to be repotted or divided and the roots like to hang in the air, similar to a Vanda.Care: Prefers cool-intermediate temps and bright indirect light. Regular watering and light feeding year-round, with a short dry period in between waterings.

Well-established, blooming-size in 2.25" pots. This mini-miniature, epiphytic orchid species is native to the high-elevation cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Platystele misera is highly prized by micro-orchid enthusiasts for its continuous blooming habits and delicate, translucent flowers. It is an "ever-blooming" species. Mature plants produce new flower spikes before the previous ones finish, keeping the orchid almost constantly in bud or bloom.  Care: Prefers cool to intermediate conditions. Ideal daytime temperatures are around 20°C (68°F), dropping to 12°C (54°F) at night. It should be protected from temperatures exceeding 25°C (77°F), high humidity levels between 70% and 80%, and constant, gentle airflow is crucial to prevent stagnant moisture from causing rot or fungal diseases. Keep the growing medium consistently damp but never soggy. Partial shade or low-intensity light (around 50–100 PPFD). Keep it entirely out of direct sunlight to avoid scorching and drying out the tiny leaves.
