Myrmecophila hybrids are known for their exceptional hybrid vigor, often producing three new pseudobulbs per year—a major improvement over species plants. These extra bulbs mean more flowers, more often, and displays that quickly outshine their wild ancestors.
Fast-growing and quick to mature, these plants become impressive specimen orchids in a short time. Their successively blooming flower spikes provide a long, showy flowering season, making them ideal for tropical and subtropical gardens.
Once established, they’re tough, disease-free, and low-maintenance, thriving with minimal care. Occasional fertilizer applications—liquid or time-release—will encourage maximum performance.
The large, robust nearly mature plants offered here are well on their way and, with reasonable care, are sure to flower by next spring.
2452 M. Karina Motes (albopurpurea x grandiflora)
This highly desirable compact myrmecophilia has been consistently producing deep lavender flowers. This is a welcome but surprising outcome considering the white with red lipped parent. They bloom on small plants with a 30 inch spike.
2614 Myrmecophila humboltii × Karina Motes
Expect medium-sized, dark concolor pink flowers on compact 2–3 ft spikes. Some seedlings are producing exceptional, deep pink to nearly purple blooms.
2677 Myrmecophila Gladys E. Mora (Myrmecophila Karina Motes × tibicinis)
Produces large, striking pink and yellow flowers on erect 4–5 ft inflorescences, as seen in the final photo. A bold and beautiful addition to any collection.
PLUS: ??????? A fourth mystery grower’s choice plant from less common stock.
Add these vigorous, colorful hybrids to your collection—and enjoy their spectacular displays for years to come.
