The lovely Odontoglossum nobile—a cascade of crisp white, lightly blushed stars with buttery throats. An Andean cloud-forest aristocrat, it’s native to Colombia (Boyacá, Santander, Norte de Santander), where it grows cool and misty at roughly 2,000–2,400 m on mossy trees and rocks.

So hard to stop… 😉

Cochlioda mixtura is a tiny cloud-forest orchid with serious drama. It comes from the Bolivian Andes, where it grows as an epiphyte in cool, misty montane forest between about 1,800 and 2,600 meters. The type collection was made along the old Cochabamba–Villa Tunari road.

Now look at what you did. Never dress up. 😉

Barkeria skinneri is a vibrant orchid native to Guatemala and Mexico, where it grows on trees and rocks in tropical forests at 3,000-6,200 feet elevation. This orchid features slender stems and magenta-red flowers that bloom from fall to mid-winter, making it a striking addition to any collection.

Dendrobium victoria-reginae happens to be one of my favorite orchids. Its picks this time of the year to bloom at its peak. I love its deep tanzanite coloration.
