Moth Orchids are one of the most popular houseplants in the world, and there’s a steady stream of new varieties. These photos highlight some of the latest hybrid trends. Many feature new patterns or color mixes. Others are bigger, rounder, and flatter. Miniatures are smaller than ever, and harlequins continue to flaunt their artistry. Some unusual types result from genetic mutations. Known as “pelorics,” their petals mutate to look like the flower lip, or vice versa. The very first photo and very last photo in this post are pelorics.

These pictures are from last month’s Pacific Orchid Expo and last summer’s Orchids in the Park, both in San Francisco. As new hybrids emerge, and fashions change, expect that there will always be more Moth Orchids.
