Return of the $12 Seedlings of Christmas!
Thanks to everyone out there who loves these plants as much as we do and have a great Holiday Season.
All of the below plants are offered at $12 each or 5 of any mix at $50.
Cattleya warneri var. coerulea…2 ½ inch pot
Cattleya mossiae var. coerulea…2 ½ inch pot
Dendrobium chrysotoxum…2 ½ inch pot
Dendrobium kingianum (BS)…3 inch pot
Ludisia discolor (some in spike)…3 ½ inch pot
Slc. Namuzu Star (Mini purple x coccinea) BS…3-3 ½ inch pots
Lalia Pacavia (tenebrosa x purpurata) BS…4 inch pots
Phrag. Jason Fischer 4N (limited)…2 ½ pots
Masd. Inca Snow (coccinea alba ‘Snow Bird’ AM/AOS x constricta)
Masd. ignea ‘Tetra Grande’ x constricata
Masd. Angel Tang (veitchiana ‘Prince deGalle’ AM/AOS x tonduzii)
Masd. Peach Fuzz ( constricta x veitchiana)
Other great offerings:
Coelogyne usitana...From the Philippines, this is a beautiful species! The 3-4 inch flowers are cream-chartreuse and have a contrasting chocolate-brick red lip. Flower spikes are borne on an arching inflorescence that emerges from developing pseudo-bulbs. They have a sequential (multiple flowers, one at a time) flowering habit and stays in bloom for months. Intermediate-warm...medium light…In spike! @ $30.00
Paph. sukhakulii (‘Sheila’ x ‘Los Osos’ AM/AOS) …With its spotted horizontally held petals this species is a must for every collector. These are first bloom seedlings…most are in bud @ $25.00
Paph. venustum var. measurianum (‘Pippin’ x ‘Limey’)…This is the alba form of venustum. When a new form or variety is described the taxonomist does not have to use the typical Latin descriptive terms (alba, album, etc.) and can instead Latinize a word or name. At times this leads to some confusion, but if none of us were confused taxonomy would be dead!...Anyway, this is a beautiful, easy growing orchid. The pouch is creamy yellow with dark green veins and the foliage has a mottled “snake skin” appearance.
First bloom seedlings…most are in bud @ $25.00
Paph. victoria-regina…One of my favorite of the sequential blooming slippers. Bright fuchsia pouch is contrasted nicely with its apple green and purple striped dorsal. These are blooming size…@ $25.00
Dendrobium lawesii (red/white x orange)…There are a few color forms of this compact grower, all of them brilliantly colored. It flowers from leafless canes and can bloom any time of the year...Moderate bright light....give slightly drier winter…Highly recommended…NBS-BS @ $20
Stenorynchos speciosa …. A beautiful red flowered terrestrial just in time for the holidays. This grows very easily beside Phalaenopsis and other low light lovers and never fails to bloom for Christmas! We grow these along with our other true terrestrials (EXCEPT Lady Slippers) in sphagnum moss, keeping them just damp all the time. In bud/bloom @ $26.00
Epc. Rene Marques ‘Flame Thrower’…When in flower these are eye-catching! Brilliant tri-colored flowers in green, fuchsia and yellow. An interesting side note is that Zur of the old Bountiful Orchids first made this now popular cross. In bud…3” pts @ $24.00
Goodyeara daibuzanensis…Hard to find terrestrial from Taiwan with really nice variegated pattern to the foliage. Easy grower…BS @ $25
Dendrobium delcourii…A very compact grower that produces creamy yellow flowers from the top of its squat canes…bright light…let dry between watering…BS @ $22.00
