Myrmecophylla tibicinis A handsome orchid with distinctive ‘cow horn’ shaped pseudobulbs, usually shades of yellowish green to golden yellow in strong light. The name ‘tibicinis’ means literally ‘flute’, referring to the hollow stems. In nature this species from Central America is a myrmecophyte or true ant plant. Its hollow pseudobulbs have a narrow slit at the base to allow entry of the very specialized ants which make only this orchid their home. Growing high on exposed trunks, often palms, out of the nutrient rich forest canopy, the ants are a welcome source of needed nitrogen and afford protection to developing seed pods. In exchange the ants receive shelter and a specially secreted nectar. The plants are rather handsome and produce large spikes with many flowers. Sepals and petals are undulating, purple to bronzy, with a white lip, veined with magenta and a yellow disc. Grow warm and bright. We have mounted plants for

		*Twelve Masdevallia* Hybrids Colorful, unusual attention-getters! These bizarre beauties are native to cooler regions of higher altitudes in tropical America and thus are usually not widely cultivated. Specially bred to be warmer-than-usual growing, ours are suitable for intermediate conditions and keep all their bright colors and unusual shapes. Well established plants, all different, in bud, with colors of yellow, orange, pink, copper and white. Most plants have two or more bloom spikes. 3in pots, $179.00 #C34**

Four choice Masdevallia as described above along with four choice Miltoniopsis ‘Pansy Orchids’ famous for their broad, flat, colorful flowers with dark masks or waterfall patterns. Nice fragrance too! They stay in constant bloom below 85 degrees and require little special care.

The prices for the above collections are all-inclusive, which includes shipping charges to anywhere in the U.S. In other words, FREE SHIPPING! That works out to less than $15 each for budded orchid delivered to your door! Please note that we won’t know in advance which varieties you will receive. It depends on what’s in bud when you order. In the unlikely event that budded plants are not available, a blooming size plant will be substituted. These collections are available by mail order only. We will not be stocking these plants at Tropiflora.
