ORCHIDS
(CITES CERTIFIED)
Some terrestrial orchids are
extremely difficult in the garden, but the ones we offer are not. They are
nursery propagated and grown, not wild collected, and are vigorous and blooming
size. Terrestrial orchids do well in well-drained, humus-rich soil in shade.
They can also be grown in pots if kept cool in the winter. Very well-drained
soil and good air circulation are essential.

Most of Amitostigma species
has tiny flowers, but this Amitostigma keisukei has relatively larger,
showy flowers, even the size of plant is only 2-3 inches tall. They
are native at humid rocky places in shade, so they grow well at rock
gardens or in pots. |

not available untill recently. We propagate from seeds and finally be

There are few examples of 'Tri-Lip' form of orchids,
Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Dendrobiums, etc... but this is only one cultivar
as the tri-lip Bletilla. Because of the flower mutation, we could not
propagate from seeds, we propagate by division for many years, you can
imagine how long does it take even the Bletilla is easy to grow and
multiply very quickly. Dark reddish purple color and white inside the
lips, makes good contrast. Vigorous and easy toof grow same as the species.
Limited supply for fall 2006. |
