Bulbophyllum eberhardtii
species - Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, S. China
Rather spectacular when it blooms, this Bulbophyllum puts ap a 4" head of flowers (it's called an 'umbel') on a 12" stem. It's a big plant, hence the 10" basket that features large, single-leafed pseudobulbs separated by tough 4-5" rhizomes.
The plants are potted in New Zealand sphagnum moss with an upturned 6" bulb pan at the bottom to prevent the basket from holding too much moisture. Still, the plants like to be moist and somewhat shady. We are growing it with a 65 degree night, but it's said to grow cooler. A vigorous grower, Bulbophyllum eberhardtii should be fertilized regularly,- it has no rest period.
The plants may bloom at any time, but most often here from late Spring-early Summer.

Only a few left!
Bulbophyllum falcatum 'Standing Tall' AM/AOS
species - Central-West Africa
In a family replete with oddities, Bulbophyllum falcatum stands out as one of the most unique.Is it a feather, or a bean of some kind? More like an Acacia seedpod is the flower stem of this plant. It has been reclassified multiple times since it first described in 1891 as Phyllorchis. Most recently it was in a rather small group of 19 species called Megaclinium, now considered a Section of the genus Bulbophyllum.
It is said to be a hot grower, but it does just fine under intermediate conditions (60-65 degree night). The flattened, feather-like stem produces small (t0 1/2" flowers on both sides that open sequentially and are relatively long-lasting. The flowers are non-fragrant and bloom Winter-Spring. The plant appreciates shady conditions and regular watering and fertilizing. The aim is to provide conditions

$7.50
Sold out
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.

$30.00
Sold out
Bulbophyllum medusae
species - Thailand, Borneo, Malaysia, Sumatra, Lesser Sunda Islands
This is the "Medusa's-Head Orchid" and what a conversation piece it is! The "flower" is actually a cluster of about 15 individual flowers and the thread-like structures are actually the lateral sepals of the flowers. The "threads" are about 6" long and rather off-white in color.
The Medusa likes filtered light and appreciates a temperature range of about 65-85 degrees with good humidity and regular watering and fertilizing. While this Bulbophyllum can bloom at any time, Fall and early Winter seem to predominate.
Sold in a 6" plastic mesh basket in NZ sphagnum moss.
NOTE: this is Not the 'Red Sand' variety we offer elsewhere.

Vanda coerulescens "Pink"
species - India, Himalayas, China, Myanmar, Thailand
Here is a real charmer. The usual color of these small Vandas is blue, hence the species name, but these are a pink form of the same easy growing species. Our plants are about 7" across with 5 or more sets of leaves and are blooming size.
Flowers are about 1" across and are held on an upright stem. The plant shown on the right has 8 flowers/buds and is the first of the cross to bloom. Vanda coerulescens is touted to grow with cooler night temperatures, but ours grew well at 60-65 degree nights with bright sunlight and regular watering and feeding using a rather "chunky" bark medium to allow both air at the roots and to prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
Fragrant too.

Holcoglossum subulifolium
species - Vietnam, China
These terete-leafed plants are currently planted in 2" pots and are 8"+ in leafspan.

Maxillaria tenuifolia flowering size, 6" basket
$35.00
Maxillaria tenuifolia "the Coconut Pie" Orchid
species - Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica
This is certainly one of our most popular orchids! Given a little overhead protection, it is tolerant of temperatures in the mid 40's and kept moist, to the mid 90's. For us, it usually blooms in Summer, but it can bloom at other times as well. Flowers are long lasting, around 1.5" across and, on a warm day smell enticingly like coconut. Grow this one in dappled light and give it regular water and food, especially during the Summer months. Some recommend a slightly drier Winter - wet and very cold should be avoided.
We've planted these in 6" mesh baskets which, in a reasonably short time, they will overflow nicely.

Phalaenopsis Assorted 3"
We have a huge and changing variety of quality 2 - stem Phalaenopsis. These will come to you planted in sturdy black plastic pots with a few to several flowers open and several buds remaining. We've used the plastic pots because we've found that, regardless of how well we pack them, the ceramic and terra cotta pots are frequently broken in transit.
Because the varieties are ever-changing, we are listing 4 color categories:
- White - may be pure white or white with a yellow lip
- Pink - may be dark, light or blush
- yellow/orange - may be plain or with stripes
- "Novelty" - stripes, spots, white with red lip, super dark (maroon), etc.
PLEASE LIST YOUR CHOICE BY NUMBER AND COLOR ALONG WITH A SECOND CHOICE IN THE "ORDER NOTES" SECTION OF YOUR ORDER FORM.

Wilhelmara Pinot Princess 'Scary'
(Rhynchostele bictoniensis X Bratonia Kauai's Choice)
Not really so scary, the genus used to be called Degarmoara. True, the flowers are a bit "spidery", but if you take care of them they will perform well.
Stems are about 24" and can hold 8-10 - 3 "+ flowers that are a deep wine color with a red spotted lip. Grow these under intermediate conditions, that is with night temperatures of around 55-60 degrees with bright indirect light and keep them moist, but not soggy. Remember, these plants are grown in New Zealand sphagnum moss and it won't dry out as fast as those planted in bark. Test the moss with your finger tip to ascertain whether it has begun to dry. Water thoroughly when the top of the moss begins to feel dry.

Cattleya Aloha Case
(C.Mini Purple X walkeriana)
This is a limited first release of this beautiful, wonderfully fragrant hybrid. Previously, it was known as Laeliocattleya Aloha Case, but when Laelia pumila was re-classified to Cattleya the hybrid followed suit.
These are 4-5 bulb plants that stand 6-7" tall and produce large shapely flowers that are about 4" across. They may occur at any time of year. They are produced singly or occasionally two at a time following the pattern of Cattleya walkeriana and may occasionally also follow the C. walkeriana habit of blooming from the base of a pseudobulb on what appears to be a new growth.
These plants like bright light, intermediate conditions and a slight drying between watering. Fertilize regularly. They prefer a large particle airy medium and also do well on cork or other mounts.

Phalaenopsis (Taida Little Pretty X Zuma's Pixie)
Talk about a teacup Phalaenopsis! These little cuties are about 6" across. They have 2 stems of buds/flowers and will arrive planted in a 2" terra cotta pot. We've left the original 1.5" soft plastic pot inside to help prevent dry out. Nevertheless, these will need water every 2-3 days.
