Sarcochilus falcatus Large Flower seedlings
The larger flowers make a particularly spectacular display with the foliage of this miniature plant! The off-white blooms of this excellent Australian species have a deep yellow lip marking, and many give off a subtle sweet aroma; a very rare quality among Sarcochilus. Flowers bloom as a spray-like cluster along an arching to pendant stem. The foliage remains compact, growing in the same nearly succulent, mono-podial (fan-like) fashion that is typical to this genus. Thrives either indoors, or outdoors.

From the cross between the awarded cultivar 'SanBar Marvel' HCC/AOS, that blooms flowers measuring 3.8 cm (nearly 1.5 inches) across, and another select and large-flowered form.

Established blooming-size seedlings small slabs of cork bark. '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.

Temperature Tolerant. April blooming. Species from Australia.

Stenoglottis Bill Fogarty
Enchanting miniature! An intriguing primary hybrid of two African species, Stenoglottis fimbriata and Stenoglottis woodii. The profuse, petite flowers bloom plume-like on upright stems and are pale pink with tiny magenta spots, blooming sequentially (mature buds towards the base open earlier than upper buds).

Deciduous! Like its parents, this hybrid is a deciduous perennial, seasonally losing all its leaves 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!
