Myrmecophilas are typically quite large plants but these Motes Orchids bred, Made in the USA hybrids, use compact species, including Myrmecophila albopurpurea and Myrmecophila thompsoniana to produce hybrids which bloom on much smaller plants, displaying blooms on shorter more attractive spikes which flower successively over nearly two months. These plants have hybrid vigor, and produce three, and sometimes more bulbs a year, quickly growing into specimen plants.

Plants offered are “nearly mature” and could bloom this coming spring.
