RECENT ADDITIONS & FEATURED ORCHIDS
Fragrant Aerides species that blooms in sprays of waxy, substantive pink and white flowers. Native to the Philippines.
Grown from seed, so flower characteristics vary somewhat from plant to plant. Examples from multiple individuals are pictured to illustrate this variation.
Plants Available: Available in two sizes. An example of each is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in spike or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit; otherwise, mature plants that have bloomed previously.
Orchid Care: Grow in bright, indirect light with high humdity and strong air circulation. (Note: If you’re already a Vanda-fanatic, this species will require somewhat lower light than most other Vandaceous species.) Plants can be grown bare root in plastic baskets, established in wooden baskets, or mounted on driftwood. During the summer, daily watering is a must for plants like these grown without media. Water can be reduced somewhat during the cooler months, provided that plants are not dried hard between waterings. Fertilize weakly, weekly.

Coerulea form of the species. Lightly fragrant.
Mericlone.
Plants Available: Growing in 3” and 4” pots. Examples of the available options are pictured.
Orchid Care: Grow in high light—bright, but indirect sun. Provide strong air circulation and moderate humidity (~50%). The root system of the plant should be allowed to dry thoroughly between waterings. Fertilize with a weak solution on a weekly basis. As with many Cattleyas, plants will require more water and fertilizer during the hotter months of the year when plants are growing more rapidly. Water and fertilizer should be reduced as day length shortens and conditions are cooler and less humid.

07.23.26
(Den. Hsinying Frostymaree × Dendrobium tobaense)
Dendrobium section Formosae hybrid, with creamy light green petals and a red-orange lip.
‘Red Lips’ mericlone.
Plants Available: Growing in 2” pots. Plants are blooming-size. Examples of the size available are pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.
Orchid Care: Grow in bright, diffused light. Keep moist in spring and summer while plants are actively growing. If potted in an open mix that drains freely and does not easily saturate, you can even grow them alongside your Vandas, watering daily. Reduce watering somewhat during the cooler months, but plants are evergreen* and do not require a dry rest. Plants should be tight in their pots.
The canes of this variety are naturally semi-pendulous when not staked or tied upright. Bear this in mind as the new growth emerges. Staking or allowing the growths to cascade is simply a matter of preference since the new growth will be self-supporting.
*Note: Although this is not a deciduous variety, some leaf drop is normal, particularly in response to stress. It is common for the canes on Formosae-type Dens like this one to shed a few leaves after shipping. Just give them a good watering and protect from extremes (e.g. in terms of light and heat) while they acclimate to your growing space.

Makes a great addition to a subtropical yard, e.g. mounted on a palm whose fronds provide some cover from the sun at midday. Mounted plants require daily watering to establish and near daily watering (or rain) throughout the summer.

Long, slender, pendent leaves with a flower to match, Brassavola cucullata has a spidery bloom—creamy white and yellow-green petals with a fringed lip. “Weird and wonderful,” according to the American Orchid Society, which includes this species among its list of collector’s items. (Read the AOS blurb here.)
The bloom period for this species is from summer into winter. Flowers are night fragrant, sweetly scented.
Grown from seed, so flower characteristics will vary somewhat from plant to plant. For example, though all blooms begin from the basic white and creamy yellow/green color palette, some may have a blush tinge to the petals like the flower from our specimen plant, which is shown in the first image. On the other hand, flowers from our current crop (blooming summer 2021) have so far bloomed with more golden tones, including a burnt orange petal perimeter. See the third and fourth images for two examples. These orange highlights are likely a product of growing in high light.
Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. An example of the size available is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud/bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.
Orchid Care: Because of the pendulous or drooping nature of the plant and its blooms, mounting or basket culture are recommended. Potted plants will benefit from a ring stake to rein in the growths.
Grow in bright, indirect light (Cattleya level) with strong air circulation. The frequency with which you water will vary according to the time of year and your growing conditions. In general, plants should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Check the moisture of your media regularly to gauge how quickly it dries throughout the year. When plants are kept in moss, a sharpened no. 2 pencil is handy tool for determining whether water is necessary. Just insert the pencil tip a few inches into the pot; remove after a moment and check the wood for moisture. If wet, wait to water.

‘Red Lips’ mericlone.
Plants Available: Growing in 2” pots. Plants are blooming-size. Examples of the size available are pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.
Orchid Care: Grow in bright, diffused light. Keep moist in spring and summer while plants are actively growing. If potted in an open mix that drains freely and does not easily saturate, you can even grow them alongside your Vandas, watering daily. Reduce watering somewhat during the cooler months, but plants are evergreen* and do not require a dry rest. Plants should be tight in their pots.
The canes of this variety are naturally semi-pendulous when not staked or tied upright. Bear this in mind as the new growth emerges. Staking or allowing the growths to cascade is simply a matter of preference since the new growth will be self-supporting.
*Note: Although this is not a deciduous variety, some leaf drop is normal, particularly in response to stress. It is common for the canes on Formosae-type Dens like this one to shed a few leaves after shipping. Just give them a good watering and protect from extremes (e.g. in terms of light and heat) while they acclimate to your growing space.

This starter pack of Den. nobile types is a great way to try your hand at a set of fragrant, pendulous Dendrobiums in a variety of color forms.
The blooms pictured are examples of the color combinations available but are not necessarily the specific clones available in this assortment.
Plants Available: Growing in soft pots and 2" pots. Examples of the plants in each 4-pack are pictured.
The Soft Pot 4-Pack includes the following four varieties:
Den. Yellow Diamond (yellow w/ dark center)
Den. Tianmu Amber (yellow)
Den. Red Army (magenta red w/ dark center ringed in white)
Den. Crown (white w/ dark pink picotee and yellow center)
The 2” Pot 4-Pack may include any four of the following varieties:
Den. Yellow Diamond (yellow w/ dark center)
Den. Tianmu Amber (yellow)
Den. Red Army (magenta red w/ dark center ringed in white)
Den. Crown (white w/ dark pink picotee and yellow center)
Den. Tianmu Purple Botan (magenta w/ light yellow and white center)
Den. Sunny Egg (white w/ yolk yellow center)
Den. Lucky Girl (white w/ yellow center and pink petal tips)
Den. Tianmu Red Model (magenta red w/ dark center ringed in light yellow)
* Additional varieties may be included in the 2” Pot 4-Pack at grower’s discretion.
Orchid Care: Grow in high light (e.g. 30%-50% shade). Mature plants can be acclimated to direct sun, but younger plants are best grown in high, filtered light (e.g. less than 5000 fc).
Plants in soft pots are ready for immediate repotting. Plants in 2” pots can also be potted up if putting out new growth and roots. Note that repotting for nobile-types is best done in late spring and early summer. Plants should not be repotted in fall/winter.
Water and fertilize regularly during active growth, but give plants a "dry rest" in the cooler months. During this time plants should be watered sparingly and fertilized rarely.
Note: Nobile-type Dendrobiums are deciduous—you can expect them to drop leaves during their rest period. Plants require a cool, dry rest in fall/winter to initiate flowering.

09.05.25
(Den. Dawn Maree × Den. Lori Tokunaga)
Dendrobium section Formosae hybrid. Buds emerge directly from the cane at the leaf axial, typically in pairs or clusters. Blooms are creamy to light green with a red-orange throat and waxy in substance, which provides for a long-lasting flower.
The canes of this variety are naturally semi-pendulous when not staked or tied upright. Bear this in mind as the new growth emerges. Staking or allowing the growths to cascade is simply a matter of preference since the new growth will be self-supporting.
Grown from seed so flower characteristics vary somewhat from plant to plant.
Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. An example of the size available is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.
Orchid Care: Grow in bright, diffused light. Keep moist in spring and summer while plants are actively growing. If potted in an open mix that drains freely and does not easily saturate, you can easily grow them alongside your Vandas, watering daily. Reduce watering somewhat during the cooler months, but plants are evergreen* and do not require a dry rest. Plants should be tight in their pots.
*Note: Although this is not a deciduous variety, some leaf drop is normal, particularly in response to stress. It is common for the canes on Formosae-type Dens like this one to shed a few leaves after shipping. Just give them a good watering and protect from extremes (e.g. in terms of light and heat) while they acclimate to your growing space.

Water generously (according to moisture retention of your media) when plants are actively growing in spring and summer, and reduce water during the cooler months.

(Frankquintalara Kai Quintal × Zygoneria Sweet Jade)
With Zga. Sweet Jade and Gptm. Starburst in its lineage, this Zygopetalum hybrid likewise produces waxy green flowers and a purple-veined lip. Flowers are fragrant with a spicy sweet scent.
Grown from seed so flower characteristics vary somewhat from plant to plant.
Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. An example of the size available is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in spike/bud/bloom as blooming stock permits; otherwise, mature plants, previously bloomed.

(Zygo. Skippy Ku × Zygo. Artur Elle)
Blooms in a spray of purple and green flowers overlaid with brown markings. From the back of the flower, petals appear green. Viewed from the front or anterior side, these green petals are overlaid with heavy brown streaks, but a distinct green perimeter remains around the edges of the petals. Flowers are fragrant—a spicy, sweet scent.
Plants currently available are from a mericlone crop.
Plants Available: Growing in 4” pots. An example of the size available is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in spike/bud bloom as blooming stock and season permit.
Orchid Care: Similar to intergeneric Oncidiums. Grow in bright, diffused light with good air circulation. Plants should be watered just as the potting medium starts to dry out. Water heavily when plants are actively growing, but reduce water during the cooler months.
