This is one of the largest orchid genus with nearly 2,000 different species, which all vary in appearance. Dendrobiums flower readily in the right conditions, with multiple blooms adding colour to your house, office or garden. Growing between 5-60cm tall, Dendrobium can remain in pots or be attached to existing trees. They need filtered light, not direct light and should be watered in the mornings.

(*If the buyer completes the necessary paperwork and permits, we can ship to Western Australia.)

Bulbophyllums Orchids, also known as ‘Bulbos’, are popular with collectors thanks to their variety and unusual flower shapes and colours.

They prefer filtered light and lots of water. Annie’s Exotic Orchids has over 25 Bulbophyllums species, which can be shipped around Australia, excluding Western Australia* and Tasmania.

Paphiopedilums Orchids are also known as ‘Slipper Orchids’ or ‘Paphs’. They are quite striking in appearance and come in a range of colours and patterns.

The orchids in this species have big showy flowers which make them a real statement piece, for home and office. Generally speaking, the petal at the bottom has different colours to the other petals in the bloom, and usually has a ‘ruffled’ edge.
