Our orchids generally run in the $75 to $100 range. The pictures on this page are representational of those prices. On occasion we are able to get larger Phalaenopsis orchids and also other varieties. Call, or email and ask about availability.  This beautiful specimen, along with all of our orchids, will reward you with blooms for several months to come. They make such thoughtful and lasting gifts.

Phalaenopsis are by far the easiest orchids to take care of. Many people believe they are so touchy, however if given medium light (no full sun), a soaking in the sink once every week to 10 days and then just leave them alone, they do beautifully. In our climate here, we are lucky enough to be able to leave our orchids outside, in a nice shady area and they just love it. There are several different ways that a Phalaenopsis sends out buds, sometimes they send out two or more flower spikes, or as in this one, they send out side, or lateral shoots. Sometimes we're lucky to recieve orchids with both multiple spikes and laterals, these are truly showpieces!

A beautiful speckled purple. We refer to this color as our lavender. Note the great number of blossoms and buds yet to come. I particularly like the graceful arch of this one. This white Phalaenopsis orchid is shown in our 6in terra cotta pot. A sprig of kiwi vine is added to lend support to the bloom stalk, it's also lending a bit of flair.

This close-up shows the color we call amber. This is a blossom shot of the orchid pictured above. The bud count is incredible.
