Brassocattleya Kuchulu
This 'little darling' (hence, Kuchulu) displays vibrant sunset colors on this remarkable intergeneric hybrid! From the cross between the fiery-colored Cattleya Ateshperest and the elegant Brassavola flagellaris, and what a lovely combination they are! These seedlings have such a wide range of brilliant colors, a sample seen in the photo above: golden yellows, bright orange, crimson hues, and some even have contrsting lips. The sturdy foliage has a terete (succulent-like) texture and compact growth habit.

Established blooming-size seedlings. Seedlings are the offspring of pollination; as siblings they may have some similarities, yet each seedling is unique and no two seedlings are identical in exact color or shape. There is no way to tell ahead of time exactly which colors and display each seedling will favor. Enjoy the surprise!

Temperature Tolerant. July - August blooming.

Encyclia (Mem Alberto Mulas x hanburyi)
Colorful sprays of showy blossoms are on prominent display from this Encyclia hybrid. These gently ruffled flowers have a mahogany color a tinted overlay of either burgundy or copper, and each has a showy pink lip. The deep coloration and larger flower size come from Encyclia Memoria Alberto Mulas (Encyclia adenocaule x Encyclia alata) and the coppery hues and pink lip are from Encyclia hanburyi.

In full flower these first-bloom seedlings may stand up to 18 inches tall, but we expect mature plants' flower stems to grow even taller with upright to arching spike habit. An outstanding and compact companion plant to Cymbidiums and outdoor Laelias.

Established blooming-size seedlings. 'Seedlings' are the offspring of pollination; as siblings they may be very similar, yet each seedling is unique and no two seedlings are identical in precise color or shape.

Prosthechea cochleata - Select form
This 'select' quality form has noticeably larger flowers and a more robust growth habit! Once classified as an Encyclia this species also has many nick-names: 'cockle shell orchid', 'octopus orchid', or the 'black orchid'. The flowers are milky-green with a 'shell' shaped lip (hence the name 'cochleata') of such dark burgundy color it is nearly black!

Historically remarkable as one of the very first orchids of the Americas to be classified into modern-day science! This species is also special as one of a few non-resupinate orchids, meaning the lip remains pointed upward in bloom and seems 'upside-down'. The flowers bloom sequentially along tall, slender stems; so large plants with multiple stems can bloom over several months! Thrives best indoors, yet can do well outdoors in climates that receive no frost.
