species - Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, S. China

Bulbophyllum falcatum 'Standing Tall' AM/AOS
species - Central-West Africa

Maxillaria tenuifolia 2"
$7.50
Maxillaria tenuifolia
species - Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica
Does it smell like toasted coconut or suntan lotion or something else? You can decide, but on a warm day in Spring or Summer, Maxillaria tenuifolia s as pleasantly fragrant as they come!
These are small starts of one of our most popular orchids. They can be left in pots or mounted on a wide variety of acceptable mounts (e.g. cork, tree fern, redwood and fresh water driftwood*), but rather quickly, under the right conditions even these little plants can turn into quite a specimen,
Ideally, Maxillaria tenuifolia would like temperatures of about 50-85 degrees, but we have grown it where the night temperature occasionally drops to 40 degrees. Best protected overhead from frost. Otherwise grow the plants in semi-bright or filtered light, because they are planted in NZ moss, keep them moist, not soggy, with regular additions of fertilizer Spring-Fall with a bit of a drier Winter rest. Flowers of 1.5-2" are produced in Spring and Summer. It is possible that some of these plants will bloom in 2020.
*Oceanic driftwood is generally toxic to orchids as is saturated was a variety of salts. It takes a long time to leach these salts out.
Also available as Blooming Size mounted plants.

Oncidium Twinkle 'Yellow Bird' NFS mounted
$17.50
Oncidium Twinkle 'Yellow Bird' (cheirophorum X sotoanum)
This is our first release of the 'Yellow Bird' clone, a bright addition to the Twinkle line. The plants are mounted and established (rooted) on virgin cork bark and would do best in bright indirect light. Leaf tips tend to burn if the plant is allowed to become dry for too long, so regular watering (mist or "dunk") is a must. Twinkle is reasonably temperature tolerant, but 60 degrees or so at night would do best. Good air movement and good local humidity are a plus.
These are petite plants about to produce their first blooms. Cared for properly, Twinkle will become a relatively small plant and a prolific bloomer. Flowers are about 5/8" across, are long lasting and fragrant.
NOTE: for those who pay attention to names, we have listed the parent species as 'sotoanum' instead of the former 'ornithorhynchum' as the latter was changed due to recent research.
