🌸 One bloom or many?

Did you know not all Paphiopedilum orchids bloom the same way?

While Maudiae type Paphs typically produce one flower per spike, some specialty varieties are sequential bloomers, producing one flower after another on the same spike!

💡 Orchid Tip: Don't cut that green spike too soon, more blooms may be on the way!

Take a stroll through our Cattleya mother house!

These are some of the special mother plants we use in our breeding program, and right now many are putting on a beautiful show.

We’re always looking at color, shape, size, fragrance and growth habits as we decide which Cattleyas to cross and what new hybrids we might create next.

So many possibilities in bloom! 💜

What’s that little envelope on your Cattleya? 👀

It’s called a sheath! It forms at the top of a mature pseudobulb and helps protect developing flower buds.

As bloom season approaches, the sheath may swell as buds form inside before finally pushing through. 🌸

And don’t worry if it looks empty. some sheaths can sit for quite a while before buds appear!

The Dove Orchid is blooming! 🕊️

One of the most fascinating orchids in our greenhouse, the Dove Orchid (Peristeria elata), produces an impressively tall flower spike but it’s what’s inside the flower that makes it truly special.

Look closely at the center of each bloom and you’ll see what looks like a tiny white dove!

Come see it blooming now in our showroom! It’s definitely one worth seeing up close. 👀

Orchid Pest Check: SCALES 🔍

Those little bumps on your orchid could be scale! These sap-sucking pests like to hide under leaves, around leaf joints, on pseudobulbs, and beneath old sheaths.

Look closely for hard bumps, white waxy fuzz, or tiny moving “crawlers.” 👀

🌿 Grower Tip: Pests are part of our world. Catch scales early! Isolate affected plants, remove visible pests, treat, and recheck regularly. One treatment may not get them all.

💥 Yes, this orchid just shoots pollen!

Catasetum flowers have an incredible pollination mechanism. When triggered by a visiting pollinator, the flower can launch its pollen so it attaches to the insect and can be carried to another flower.

Orchids are seriously fascinating. 🤯
