Orchid of the day: Broughtonia negrilensis x Laelia crawshayana

This is an orchid that resides in our orchidarium in the basement for most part of the year. But once the stalk starts to shot out and budding begins, Arne takes it up to our study window for more light and attention. These photos were taken December last year.

A) Four flowers emerged from the orchid stalk last year.

B) Up close of Broughtonia negrilensis x Laelia crawshayana bloom.

C) Currently there are no flowers on this orchid as yet. A new stalk started to grow a few weeks ago. It might take another month or more before it starts to bloom. Pretty exciting times.
