Gomesa Jiaho Queen 'Jia Ho' FCC/AOS GM/TOGA is truly a sight to behold. This has been one of our most sought after Oncidinae hybrids the last couple of seasons, selling out both on our list as well as at our local show. Winning two of the highest award designations, few others can compete with its striking, high contrast flowers. Don’t let its compact size fool you, even our younger plants in 3” pots will have inflorescences that produce several flowers lasting about a month.

This Catt’s Got our Tongue
 

Take our word for it, these miniature Cattelya hybrids are the purr-fect addition to any collection! Caulocattleya Chantilly Lace 'Twinkle' (Cattleya El Dorado Splash and Caularthron bicornutum) is a compact grower that averages 2-4 flowers per inflorescence. These blushing freckled cuties are about 2.5 inches fully open and have a mild fragrance similar to that of lilacs. We let these Catts out of the bag last week and the demand was absolutely feral. Meowza!

There’s something special about plants that flower below eye level. Ones that invite you to bend down for a closer look before rewarding you with their splendor—bonus points when that reward is accompanied by a subtle yet delightful fragrance that otherwise may have been missed. As its name suggests, Warczewiczella amazonica (formerly Cochleanthes amazonica) is native to South America. This plant is fast growing, and its long lasting flowers are quite large at about 3 inches across. These beauties will be leaving our available offerings soon, so pick some up if you haven’t already!

Stenorrhynchos speciosum has arrived! Native to Mexico and Central America, this easy-to-grow houseplant has the ability to tolerate a wide range of temperatures. With a blooming season that correlates perfectly with the holidays, these red, torch-like flowers can remain in bloom for up to three months. Delicate white spotting across its leaves mimicking a light dusting of snow, rounds up our list of top reasons why THIS should be your go to festive foliage this season.

It's Complex Season
 
Blooming green paphiopedilum orchid.

Complex season is upon us, decking our benches in delightful reds and greens! We take immense pride in the quality and consistency of our plants and these Paphs are no exception. Each seeding is bred from our top notch stock plants and many go on to receive awards as early as its first flowering.

Listed for the first time last week, they are flying out of our greenhouses almost as fast as we can harvest them. We’re hoping to offer them throughout the month of December, inventory permitting, so don’t sleep on these beauties!
