Peristeria elata ‘The Dove Orchid’

The beautiful, fragrant national flower of Panama. Near blooming size plants 
2 ¼” pots $29.99

Nepenthes alata

Under bright conditions, plants are apple green with gorgeous red pitchers. The easiest we have ever grown. 6” baskets $39.99

 

Coryanthes macrocorys

This was formerly listed in our catalog as pink bicalcarata, as we received it. On flowering, they turned out to be the massive macrocorys. Unlike other species in the genus, the wings on this species do not fully reflex, giving a broad, full appearance when looking head on. This is a remarkable trait for breeding, along with its huge size. Blooming size, 6” baskets $59.99
 

Coryanthes speciosa

Seedlings coming soon! Check out that colour!

 

Coryanthes macantha

The famous bucket orchid, macrantha flowers are HUGE, and also have a subtle, tasty fragrance. We keep them wet and bright like a Nepenthes and they grow like weeds!  (my fingers on speciosa to give you an idea of size!) 5-6” pot size, blooming size $49.99

 

 

The CURSED Epiphyllum!

Also known as 'Queen of the Night' (Epihyllum oxypetalum), this unique species makes giant, deliciously fragrant 10" flowers which open for one night only, after sunset. I missed the bloom on these last year by one day. This year we brought the mother plant home to a beautiful show, with lots of pictures taken. With film still in the camera, our car was broken in to, with camera and said photos stolen. She's cursed! 8" blooming sized baskets $39.99

 

Coyhopea Woji’s Procrastinator (Stanhopea tigrina x Coryanthes macrantha)

In August 2007 we flowered the first of this batch, just look at this orchid! A single photo cannot capture the intricacies of bloom, so we’ve shown four different angles. You might not have guessed it’s the same flower…deliciously fragrant, and huge of course (check out my fingers on the top left). Very fast growing, minimum 5 bulbs in a 6-8” basket. $59.99

 

 

Vanilla

 Many of you have been requesting vanilla plants, so we now have small, fast growing plants in 2" pots. These will eventually flower when big enough and if given enough light. Be sure to pollinate the flowers yourself and you will eventually get a real-deal vanilla bean! Intermediate light until larger when they will take bright light. Some try to train the vine through their windowsill or greenhouse, whereas others have reported success letting if grow flat or sideways (thanks Ben B!).  $9.99

SOLD OUT

Stanhopea tigrina

These seedlings are from a particularly dark form of this standout species. Fast growing, very fragrant. 5” pot size ~ 1-2 years from first bloom. $39.99

 

Scarab fern

Formerly known as Microsorum steerii, this is a new species of strap fern from Thailand known for its metallic blue/green iridescent foliage - Microsorum thailandicum. Truly one of a kind, and unfortunately very resistant to our propagation efforts! Divisions from mother plants. $99.99

Scarab fern seedlings available $39.99

 

Microsorum metallicum

 we now have a number of large plants of our famous metallic blue scarab fern available! Regularly $69.99 and up, these slow growing ferns with brittle, captivating iridiescent foliage are now just $29.99 for huge 4" pots brimming over with leaves! Be sure not to mistake the spores on the leaf undersides for scale - we get that inquiry regularly…

 
Moving Butterflies

Many of you have noticed the moving butterflies/dragonflies we have in our orchid show exhibits, wishing to buy one. Now, here's your chance! These nifty gadgets plug in to a regular 2 prong outlet, and move back and forth every 5 seconds or so. It's very subtle, catching most people by surprise.

Equipment for Sale!
Timely in this summer heat, we have one of our Jaybird XE1000 coolers available! These function by running a small amount of water THROUGH the hollow fan blade out the blade tip, which creates an ultra fine fog. This is an oscillating microfogger which we had in one of our greenhouses 48' x 72'. This was hooked to a humidistat for consistent humidity, however a thermostat control is readily available from the manufacturer. The power was run through a $20 Christmas light timer so there was no humidification happening at night….brand new, the fog unit sells for $850, the oscillator $266 US, and the humidistat for $295 US (total $1411 US). This unit was in use for about a year and functions perfectly, we simply shut down the house where it was installed. Some hard wiring required, however I even took pictures of the wiring before I dismantled it to make your setup easier. As a single package, buy the fogger and oscillator and receive the humidistat and a whole bunch of tubing for free! More than 50% off now for: $700 CAD.
