Bllra_PACIFIC MATRIARCH_purple blooms EZ orchid (NOT in-bud/bloom when shipped)

Description: This is a rare find for lovers of lavender and purple flowers! The man-made genus Bealleara (now Aliceara) is a product of some breeding between related genera, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a mutt! That's actually true of most orchids available commercially, so this variety is in good company, and is a real stand-out. The full name registered name of this lovely hybrid is Aliceara Patricia McCully 'Pacific Matriarch'. It is an easy to grow Odontoglossum type (e.g., in the same grouping as the every-popular chocolate-scented Sharry Baby or Miltassia Charles M. Fitch) and will make a very nice spray of purple blooms. Well-grown plants can actually bloom twice per year! IMPORTANT: This type of orchid actually has finely wrinkled bulbs! This is NOT a defect or indicative of poor health or watering! While many Odontoglossum types have sleek, smooth bulbs, some have ridges, and others, like 'Pacific Matriarch', have wrinkles. Please look at photos carefully! The fine wrinkles on the bulbs are very characteristic of this variety. If you (or some you're giving this to as a gift) find this problematic, it is best to pass on this. We generally offer large seedling-size plants in 2.25-inch square pots, but on occasion, we may be able to offer larger plants (i.e., NBS Near Blooming Size or BS Blooming Size plants). Please look at photos carefully, as they will have a reference item for size such as a coin, pencil, or ruler. How to grow: 1) Bright shady conditions (avoid direct sun) 2) Water once to twice a week during the growing season; let dry between waterings 3) Use bark or sphagnum moss for plenty of aeration at the roots 4) Fertilize 2X/month 5) Avoid temps below 50 F; keep well-watered in high heat
