This week we're taking a look at two exotic orchids that have recently arrived at BloomRite® Gardens. The first is Zygopetalum crinitum, a fragrant Brazilian native that Will Call shoppers should be quite familiar with. The second is a new arrival from Australia called Dendrobium kingianum, whose woody stems and dozens of tiny flowers give it a unique look. Despite their radically different backgrounds and appearance, we still thought it appropriate to feature them together for one reason: they thrive in cool weather.

A vibrant and compact plant White Star (or more broadly Sun Star), sets itself apart with clusters of white, yellow, and white waxy flowers. Native to the Cape Province area of South Africa, this perennial bulb grows mainly on the mountain slopes. The arrival of White Star at BloomRite® Gardens is the first of the Sun Star for this year; soon you will be able to find Yellow Star and even Pink Star here in the coming months.

White Star is known by several names such as Sun Star, Snake flower, and its botanical name Ornithogalum dubium. The flower's botanical name is in a sense uncertain, and according to its Latin root is quite literally so. 'Dubium' means doubtful or dubious in Latin, and is used in taxonomy (scientific classification) when a subject's origin is uncertain.

Good news everyone! Our first spring bulbs are already on the store floor, and they look wonderful. Best of all, this year we're excited to announce that our selection is more comprehensive than last year's. Some of these varieties have been available in assorted flats of 2" pots before, but this time you'll find we have bulbs like Muscari and Crocus in the 4" size. Our first shipments have already arrived, and we will be receiving fresh inventory of most types into mid-April (except Hyacinth, which will last until mid-March). Keep reading for a full list of potted spring bulbs we'll be carrying!
