For collectors who appreciate the unusual.

🌟Bulb. patens has wonderfully unusual blooms with a hinged “swinging” lip. This compact grower loves to wander with creeping rhizomes that spill beyond the pot.

🌱 Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that Vanilla planifolia — the plant that gives us vanilla beans — is actually an orchid?

Take a look at this vanilla plant growing under a lychee tree at my family’s home in Pearl City. It’s producing flowers!

Here’s the wild part: each flower is only open for pollination for about 6–8 hours on the day it blooms. Miss that tiny window, and no vanilla bean develops.
