Discovered in the jungle, grown in our greenhouses!
Conditions that are replicated in our greenhouses, which measure a total of 4.4 hectares. There, every plant is given the same time to develop as it would in the wild, with sufficient space to grow into a fully mature plant. And our 90,000-litre reservoir also means every plant has sufficient clean water.
With an expert eye, we follow the plant’s development in the greenhouse to ensure it has everything it needs. And then, after what can sometimes be several years, it’s time for the new variety to take the world by storm. This is something the Bush Brothers have done with the orchids they specialize in: the Oncidium, Zygopetalum and Brassia.
The result of their passion for nature’s unknown is a collection of 50 orchids and green plants – some of which are unique, most of which are very exclusive. Who still knows scented orchids? Flowers with a panther motif? Or blue or black orchids? We do, the Bush Brothers. The collection is worth exploring, from the comfort of your home. Enjoy!

Rarely has an orchid managed to impress us more than the Brassia. Perhaps because of its remarkable shape, but at any rate because of its spider-like flowers. Such discoveries ensure that we quickly forget the adversities of South America's rainforests.

This is perhaps our greatest discovery to date. This is because the Cambria isn’t a naturally occurring orchid: it is a hybrid from our greenhouses, developed by crossing multiple species with each other. This has created a multitude of scents and colours.

Sometimes the jungle puts us on the wrong track, like when instead of growing in the ground, an orchid uses another plant as its growing medium. Cattleyas are an example of such ‘freeloaders’ in the wild. But they always bestow a reward on the host, in the form of an unprecedented plethora of colours.

This is one of the largest orchid families, which is why we always come across a new variety on our trips through the jungles of Southeast Asia. And every time, there is the thrill when the flower emerges, in Mother Nature's most beautiful colours.

Nature never fails to delight us. Like that one day in the jungle of Central America. For hours, we searched for a new Epidendrum, in vain. Until, on the way back, we came across this unusual specimen.

The Amazon is perhaps where most of our finds come from. Orchids like the Miltonia, which, of all the species that are hard to find, is by far the easiest. That’s because of the large, bright flowers that give it away in the rich natural surroundings!

Fortunately, we have never encountered tigers on our journeys of discovery. But we have come across tiger orchids, such as the Oncidium. The dozens of tiny flowers have a recognisable tiger print, with a different one for each species. The many Oncidia in South America mostly come in yellow and are usually fragrant.

Sometimes we find these on an old tree stump, or on a rock, or perhaps somewhere on the ground. The Zygopetalum is a species of orchid that we have discovered on numerous occasions in South America, each time with flowers of a different colour: blue, purple and red, and fragrant.

On our explorations through China, there is always one orchid species we’re on the lookout for: the Ludisia. It’s extremely rare, which is why it’s worth searching for. Or do you think it's just a coincidence that this species is known as the jewel orchid?

Sometimes it isn’t a case of 'big is beautiful' but rather ’small'. Take for example our Treasures, a fitting name for the small treasures of the jungle which, instead of depending on their size, rely on their appearance. Each and every one of these are special varieties, which form an exclusive assortment in their 9 cm pot.

It is always our eyes that put us on the trail of yet another new orchid. Very occasionally, it is our nose. This was the case for the Oncidium Cherry Baby, which spread a scent trail in the rainforests of Brazil - and a beautiful red or white colour.

Paphiopedilum is its botanical name. Characterised by an unusual shape and attractive markings, this elegant plant is also known as the Venus slipper. As special as its name is unique, this orchid can take a few years to reach maturity and flower. Not only do the large flowers have stunning markings, the plant will also continue to bloom for 6-8 weeks.

Aglaonemas are among our most beautiful discoveries. Even though we have had to go to the darkest jungles of Indonesia for them. There, these plants with green, red and pink leaves grow under the tallest trees. Fortunately, they are easier to come across these days: in shops...
