Maxillaria variabilis

Description

Mounted on cork plaque. This hardy, small, and cute epiphytic species is native to Central and South America. The flowers occur in a number of different color forms ranging from light yellow to dark red, almost black. They are fragrant, smelling like a combination of caramel and fresh wood shavings, and are produced continually from the late winter through summer.  Two seedlings  are loosely potted in sphagnum and can be grown that way or mounted. One seedling is mounted on cork. Specify in the comments section whether you want pot or mount.
