Dryadella zebrina
Dryadella zebrina is found in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia in damp forests, often with mist and fog late in the day and with a dry season in the late spring till fall at elevations of 1,500 to 3,400 meters (4,921 to 11,155 feet) as a miniature-sized, cool- to cold-growing epiphyte that blooms in the spring through fall. This species will grow in a cool, humid, semi-shaded situation with plenty of water and fertilizer in a fibrous, well-drained medium.

Thelymitra crinita is endemic to Western Australia at elevations of sea level to 350 meters in coastal and near coastal forests and woodlands as a small to large-sized, cold-growing terrestrial that blooms in the spring. Grow plants of Thelymitra in small pots with sandy loam. Provide intermediate temperatures and very bright light levels. Most species of Thelymitra exhibit a strong dormancy period after flowering. Water regularly during active growth and begin to withhold water upon flowering. After flowering, withhold all water until the onset of new vegetative growth. Some species, however, grow in permanently moist habitats. In nature, many species have enhanced flowerings following fire.
