Aerides falcata
This elegant Asian species is monopodial-growing (fan-like foliage) and produces cascading inflorescences with many fragrant, waxy, peach-tinted flowers with pink and white markings. Occurs in nature from the Eastern Himalayas to as far southeast as Vietnam.

These established plants are self-propagation** seedlings from our own mother-plant. The blooms resemble their origin flower with minimal variation.

** "Selfing" propagation is done by pollinating a flower with its' own pollen. The resulting seedlings are technically unique, and may vary slightly in precise color, size, or markings, yet generally posses a strong resemblance to the self-pollinated flower.

Temperature Tolerant. May-June blooming. Species from South and Southeast Asia.

Aerides Pussadi
Cascading plumes of elegantly colorful flowers make this primary-hybrid an excellent plant in a hanging pot for the indoor collection! Flower color for these hybrids range from blush to white and have accent markings of pink or magenta. The compact, fan-like foliage has an almost succulent charm.

Both parents are fragrant, so these flowers ought to produce fragrance, sweet to citrus-like, and mildly aromatic to moderately fragrant; of course, fragrance is also affected by environmental factors, like humidity, temperature, and time of day. These seedlings are from the cross between two gorgeous Asian species, Aerides falcata and Aerides odorata.

Established blooming-size seedlings. 'Seedlings' are the offspring of pollination; as siblings these may be similar, yet each is unique and no two are identical in precise color or shape. Enjoy the surprise!

Warm to Intermediate. May-June blooming.

Angraecum didieri
A very charming, petite twig-epiphyte from Eastern and Central Madagascar. This species is one of those that have a flower which is nearly as big as the plant! If you don't fall in love with its captivating, night fragrant flowers, then you're sure to fall for its white warty roots. The color can best be described as off-white with a jade-green hue, and the broad labellum is an opaque bright white. The plants offered here are in 2" pots, but they love to be grown in a wooden basket, or even mounted! Temperature Tolerant. June blooming. Species from Madagascar.
