Tom's  Blooming Specials

Description  and price.

New, Aug. 8th 

Rhynchostyllis coelestis x Christensonia vietnamica     This is a compact vandaceous hybrid, growing in a 6 inch basket.   They are seedling plants, so that means each one has the same parents, BUT, can look different.   The plant in the picture bloomed for us just before the summer orchid Fest and I sold about 8 plants that were displayed around this one (even though they were not in bloom).  Just in the past two weeks, since the Fest, I have discovered about 7 of these plants in tight spike.  There is no guarantee they will be just like the picture, but they will be similar.  It is an interesting and unusual cross, so if you are a successful grower of vandaceous plants, you will do well with this one. Very Fragrant   6 inch baskets in spike for $40 S1

New, Aug. 8th

Gastrochilus dasypogon    species   4inch baskets in tight spike.    this species is from the eastern Himalayas, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam at relatively low altitudes.  It can grow in warm to hot conditions and is a small compact plant.  Bright, mostly indirect light is good.   Water and feed year round.     $25 each S2

New, Aug. 8th

Podangis dactylocerus      Mounted plants in tight spike.    This African species likes to grow in warm to hot conditions.   Semi shade is good and good humidity and air movement.   Should dry out between waterings.  The flowers look quite delicate, but are surprisingly long lasting.   $30 each.  S3

New, Aug. 8th

Masdevallia Highland Monarch   3.5 to 4 inch clay pots in spike for $30 each.   A brilliant, vigorous hybrid producing golden yellow flowers held high about the foliage.   We find it to be tolerant of our warmer conditions in the summer.  As these mature and get bigger, they will put on a great diaplay.   Both parents have Masd. veitchiana in the background. S4

Inca Snow
Angel Tang
Both

Masdevallia Inca Snow (coccinea x constricta)   A beautiful, small, white hybrid with good tolerance to warm temperatures.   These are young plants, but they began to bloom in the plug tray even before they could be repotted.   Now, we're growing them in 2 inch pots in our mix of sphagnum moss and they continued to bloom. We will try to provide budded plants but no guarantee  for either of these.  S5
We also have Masdevallia Angel Tang (veitchiana x tonduzii) that were repotted at the same time.  I have seen one of them in bud (nice orange color) and expect more to bud up shortly.   These are also very hearty and tolerant of warm conditions. S6
Plants are $18 each or purchase one of each for $25 ,  an $8 savings. 

New, Aug. 8th

New, Aug. 8th

Lc. Love Knot 'Carmela Blue"    This is a very compact miniature Cattleya that shows the strong influence of both parents (C. walkeriana and L. sincorana)   To be perfectly honest, it is a little reluctant to bloom for me, despite the fact that my plants are large, full and robust.   I think I may see some better flowering in the fall after the weather changes.  This is the lovely blue form.  4 inch baskets for $25 each  (only 2 available) S9

Masdevallia veitchiana x Masd. attenuata       This little hybrid will not stop blooming.   I have a big specimen plant and decided to make division despite the fact that it was blooming all the time.  The divisions we made have never missed a beat and are still producing flowers all the time.  They are a butter/gold color and are delicate.  I have two divisions in bud at this time in 4 inch baskets.  $30 each S12
