Warty brassia

Native to Central America, warty brassia (Brassia verrucosa) is an unusual and distinctive orchid whose flowers last only about three weeks. Those flowers produce long, string-like petals with green speckles, giving the plant its name. However, it may "sleep" for several months before blooming.

Spider orchid 'Toscane'

Spider orchid 'Toscane' has a delicate appearance with thin, white flowers that have plum accents. This cultivar was derived from Brassia 'Rex' and Oncidium schroederianum. It is primarily used as a houseplant, though it is less common than other varieties.
