Beautiful, exotic orchids at attainable prices!

Paph vexillarium finally bloomed!!! It took 2 months from the time I saw it buried inside the leaves till fully opened. Isn’t she beautiful??

07/20/2022

I got SO excited, I found a bud hiding in this plant!! (Burr. Nellie Isler 'Swiss Beauty') I didn’t expect to see any blooms this year, so I’m thrilled!
Also I was checking my Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream' and it has a whole new growth!! I'm hoping I get a spike from it. 🤞

07/17/2022

My little mini Paph opened up today!! 😱 It’s sooo cute, and about as tall as a quarter! 🥰

07/12/2022

My first Paph bloom of the year!!! 😱😱 (Paph wardii dark, my other 2 have buds right now as well) It took AGES to bloom!

06/22/2022

Oh, here’s a picture of my oncidium fully bloomed!

06/22/2022

These are my favorite Phalaenopsis orchids right now.
The first one is my biggest, some of the blooms measure 5 inches across, and if it were staked upright instead of a U shape it would measure about 3 feet tall!!!
The minis are tiny and adorable, also some of the most perfect, healthy orchids I've purchased.
I've purchased a lot of orchids from a lot of places, but these minis are flawless, and even the roots are in wonderful shape!
Most plants I've bought have needed a repot and I've had to remove varying amounts of dead roots. With these so far the roots are all in amazing shape, new growth, etc.
Honestly I probably did more harm than good poking around in it, and usually that's never the case!
The last orchid reminds me a little of the Mini Mark, but I've heard the MM is susceptible to lots of things and not a very hardy plant. So I felt this was a better, likely healthier choice. 👍

06/20/2022

I have a local source for gorgeous mini Phals!! They are beautiful, super healthy, have very pretty ceramic pots and are imported from Canada!
I am super impressed with them! Everything is currently blooming with extra buds. They actually have one that I paid $45 for, only $20! 😭
I looked into bulk ordering the “just add ice” minis but was not impressed. 😬😬 I think this is a much better option.
I’ll attach some colors taken from Google to show what’s available - shipping should be $8 or less as well, which is great!
Anyone looking for anything particular or want to grab one of these? I can’t guarantee how long they will be available! (Pictures are taken from Google to show colors available, I can run back and get pictures of individual plants if interested)

06/17/2022

My mini Phalaenopsis orchids were successfully pollinated!! There are little flaps on each side of the stigma (little sticky cave in the middle of the flower where the pollen sacs go) that have closed around the pollen! The flowers that I didn’t pollinate are still open 🙂
(I’ll try to show what I mean with the pictures attached. First is an open, unpollinated flower, second is the pollinated, closed flower.)

06/15/2022

You guessed it…. Another Phalaenopsis 🤣

06/12/2022

I got a couple new plants today and they positively glow! The first one was the biggest Phalaenopsis I’ve ever seen!! The blooms are 5 inches wide, and the leaves are 9.5 inches long 😱

06/06/2022

I have an oncidium starting to bloom!! How exciting! 😁

06/03/2022

So… I have found another orchid supplier! Their prices are even a little better, and they offer different types of plants that my other supplier does not.
I’m not sure when I will place an order, but I have heard their quality is good. 😊

06/02/2022

I got one of my packages I was awaiting today!
These are for my own personal collection however, and not for sale 🙂
I do still purchase from others, if they have things that are hard to find and I don’t have access to.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from here but they are pretty, just in need of a repot! I will quarantine them however, for a month or 2. Just to be safe.
I had trouble really catching the vibrancy of the first one - it practically glows!!

05/29/2022

Lastly I have Phragmipedium QF Angel Wings (Grande x Incan Treasure), another $90 orchid and I believe I'm the only one who has them right now. My price is only $50!
I think this may be my largest plant right now, and super special.

05/29/2022

This is Phragmipedium Karen Sue (Red Rocket x kovachii).
It usually runs $75-80 elsewhere when it's in stock, but my pricing is only $45! Gorgeous blooming size plants that will have beautiful flowers.

05/29/2022

This is Paphiopedilum fowliei v. alba. It is a rare album form of the micro-miniature species with bright green and white flowers on very compact plants. These are blooming size! Highly recommended for those who enjoy miniature orchids.
I see this going for $50, but my price is $25!! **If you would like one with a bud formed already it's $35.

05/29/2022

This is Paphiopedilum wardii Dark x sib
I believe it runs $40 normally but I'm not sure others have this exact plant. I'm only asking $25!

05/29/2022

Paphiopedilum lawrenceanum var. hyeanum
I only see this available in flask for $150, which would take years to develop into this size.
Demand seems fairly high for this, it is quite limited.
My pricing on this is only $50

05/29/2022

Phrag Quintal Bang (QF Kamakalio Tyler x Twilight)
Pricing runs $40 elsewhere, my pricing is $25

05/29/2022

Paph Shen-Liu Elf (liemianum x adductum)
I don't see anyone actually selling these currently, with the exception of one eBay seller. Mine are only $40!

05/29/2022

Paph philippinense x gardenii
Absolutely gorgeous, blooming size, full plants. Costs $99 elsewhere, mine are $50 plus shipping

05/29/2022

Phragmipedium QF Halia (QF Kamakalio Tyler x kovachii)
Others charge $75-90, my pricing is $45!

05/27/2022

I sometimes get orchids from other people to add to my private collection, and someone gave me a Cattleya rescue orchid.
Most of the roots were toast, but I was able to save about 7 of them.
I have my fingers crossed that it will bounce back in a few months! 🤞

05/22/2022

This is my current orchid setup! I’m debating getting another set of shelves for the living room plants. I’m just not sure if my cats could resist the tall shelves 😩 they don’t currently bother the table.

05/22/2022

My Miltoniopsis have finally bloomed! Everyone else that got some from me have blooms now as well!! 😁

05/21/2022

I have new orchids available! I just finished spraying them (I do this as a preventative before adding anything new to my collection)
and they’re currently relaxing in my tub 😂😂
They look great despite the delays in shipping. Only a few yellow leaves, and I broke a couple leaves when I dropped my sprayer 😭 (yes I’m mad at myself)
I even have a couple plants with buds, which is pretty exciting!!

05/21/2022

My Miltoniopsis is starting to finally creep open!! 😱

05/20/2022

Part 2 repotting rescue Phalaenopsis

05/20/2022

Finished product - repotted orchid! So pretty 😁
