This week I'll be posting the orchids that flower in the garden around this time of year. (which is January in this album lol)
This is a really neat Brassia hybrid with 5-6 inch star shaped flowers that first open in a greenish yellow color, and then progress to being more yellow as the flowers mature. The petals and sepals have chocolate-red markings and the lip is a maze of red vertical striations through the lip. Long lasting flowers that are borne on 20-24 inch tall spikes with 10 or more flowers. This plant will flower twice per year.
