ELMORE ORCHIDS 2012 CATALOG
Greetings and welcome to our new catalog! We have many new and exciting plants to offer and some of the old
standbys that everyone should have in their collections. We hope that you find your time looking through our
listing a fun experience and that you discover some plants that would make good additions to your collection.
We feel like this is the best listing we have produced and are proud to offer these outstanding plants at
reasonable prices. Click on underlined plant names to see photos. Asterisk (*) by pots size indicates plant is blooming size. Please note we have many other varieties of orchids that are not listed because they were too few in number to list.

ONCIDIINAE
**********************************************************************************************************************
Recent breeding in the Oncidiinae has produced some spectacular plants with much improved flowers and
increased length of bloom (some can even challenge Phals). The Oncidiinae includes genera such as Oncidium
(of course), Odontoglossum, Miltonia, Brassia, and some lesser known ones. Over the last several years we have increased
our supplies of these plants and believe that you will really enjoy the colors, patterns, and blooming habits of
these.
