Cattleya Adels Treasure fma. coerulea
A dreamy primary hybrid, these flowers have rippling petals of crystalline white tinged with lavender-blue, and boldly colorful "blue" lips. From the cross between the coerulea ("blue") color forms of Cattleyas warneri and lawrenciana.
What is a "blue" orchid? The coerulea color form is often described as "blue", a term that confuses many orchid admirers, since most have no truly blue coloration: coerulea simply means the flower lacks red pigment. It is a rare genetic trait, even rarer than fma. alba (orchid albinism), and typically produces some combination of white, purple, and green floral display.
Temperature Tolerant. September-October blooming.

Stenoglottis Bill Fogarty
Enchanting! An intriguing primary hybrid of two African species, Stenoglottis fimbriata and Stenoglottis woodii. The petite flowers are a delicate pink color with tiny pink spots, and bloom sequentially on plume-like flower spikes.
Deciduous! Like its parents, this hybrid is a deciduous perennial, typically loosing all its leaves seasonally, while the subterranean bulbs rest before the next growth season. This means that for a brief time their pots appear bare, but soon the past leaves are replaced by new rosettes of foliage. So, don't throw this out when all the leaves fall off - it's not dead, it's just resting!
Temperature Tolerant. August - September blooming.
