Largest Brassia species?
Diane,
My Brassias get very very bright light, mine are growing under a 430 watt
HPS w SonAgro light and they seem to love it! In the summer, they all go
out in the sunny porch where they get full sun.

leaves- psuedo bulbs are fine. windowsill garden- recently changed window
locations-very sensitive to change??

Thanks! My gireoudiana now has 3 spikes and I'm looking forward to
seeing
the blooms for the very first time.

Pete,
I think that Brs longissima is now properly known as Brs
arcuigera.
And
I am pretty sure that it is the larger of the two. -- Mark

Which Brassia species produces the largest spidery flowers?
Longissima
or
gireoudiana?
Some say it's gireoudiana and some say longissima? I have a
gireoudiana
that
is spiking for me for the first time and this plant gets really HUGE
fast.
It was a small seedling two years ago and now is a big specimen size
plant.
I have a longissma hybrid which is actually 75% longissima and 25%
gireoudiana and the blooms were quite long (about 12 inches from top
to
bottom, if I remember correctly) but the plant is much smaller in
size.
The
bulbs are much much smaller and flat with only one leaf or two to
each
bulb
which I guess is from longissima because gireoudiana has big bulbous
bulbs
and 4 large leaves to each bulb.
Thanks in advance!
Pete
