    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Nice seed-grown plants we got from a friend who is hardy orchid breeder - lucky us! Typically B. ochracea has yellowish flowers and while we received these as B. ochracea, we will call them a hybrid just to be safe as these have pink flowers. Of course he is the orchid expert so maybe we should listen to him!. Vigorous plants when established with tall stems to 30" with pink flowers. These are not something generally available and we're very pleased to have a few to offer. 1-2 shoots on these with a few starting to show flower spikes although not all will bloom.
