September Blooming Botanicals
Ada glumacea
This handsome species displays many-flowered stems of sweetly fragrant blossoms. The tapering, elongate flowers have striking deep-brown markings over a rich amber-orange background, and each has a contrasting, patterned, cream-colored lip. The blooms first open with a green background which steadily gains coloration in bright growing conditions, and the richly sweet fragrance gains prominence once the flowers mature. The lush, dense foliage offsets the rich hues of the floral display and stands approximately 12 inches tall.
Temperature Tolerant. August - September blooming. Species from Central America.

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.
