Orchids
Although occasionally terrestrial, the majority of orchid plants are epiphytes or lithophytes originating from around the intertropical regions around the globe. Terrestrial orchids (i.e. Cypripediums, Bletilla striata, Calanthe, Pleione, etc.) grow in very rich, moist soil under the protection of the canopy of tall trees. The epiphytes or lithophytes attach themselves to other plants like trees or rocks. The structure of these types of orchids conforms to two basic kinds:

• monopodial
• sympodial

Monopodial orchids are plants that have neither rhizome nor pseudo bulbs and grow from a single vegetative apex like Vanda orchids. Sympodial orchids grow from a number of vegetative apices situated at varying intervals on the rhizome. The rhizome is a creeping stem (above or below ground) which produces other stems similar to a Cattleya orchid.
   

We have one greenhouse fully loaded with orchids to full-fill your most awesome desires. We are always receiving new orchids of all species. This year we are concentrating on filling our shade house with hardy terrestrial orchids. We will have Cyp. reginae, Cyp. X Hilda, Cyp. kentuckiense, Cyp. pubescens, Cyp. montana, Cyp. (parviflorum) pubescens makasin and more.

We will also start stocking up on Jack-in-the-pulpits.  Yes, you have guessed it!  I like the different, unique and abstract plants.

Something for Everyone
In addition to our orchids and herbs, we also carry a wide variety of other not only beautiful plants but many fragrant plants. We feature Stevia, better known as the sugar leaf plant and many different lavenders. Generally, we try to keep awesome plants to ensure sweet fragrances that you will enjoy. Check out our water plants that can grow on the outside along the edge of the pond to 3' under the water in the pond.
