Name Game ... Brs. longissima x Brs. ochraleuca
Help!
I have a brassia cross that I've had for many years. It's in bloom now and
I may take it to the show next week.
The tag reads Brs. longissima x Brs. ochraleuca. The RHS site is not
getting any hits on this plant. Orchidspecies does not list ochraleuca as a
species and does not give any syn. Longissima is a syn for arcugiera.
Does anyone have any insite to this cross?
The spikes produce about 10 flowers with curly petals about 4 inches long.
Very petite and graceful. The flower last about two weeks and seems to
bloom three weeks before any judging or society meetings.
