Orchid of the day: Rhynchovola Jimminey Cricket

Rhynchovola Jimminey Cricket



We have had this orchid since 2013 and it usually flowers twice a year. I posted about our Rhynchovola Jimminey Cricket in August 2014 and January 2015. Each time it blooms, the flowers become more prominent and emit a pleasant fragrance.

A) Happily growing in our basement, August 14th, 2016.

This orchid is also known as Brassovola Jimminey Cricket and is a primary hybrid between Brassavola nodosa and Rhyncholaelia digbyana (see post in August 2014). We are fortunate that this time around, we have three flowers instead of our usual two.


B) A better contrast in daylight.

C) Zooming in the beautiful fragrant bloom.

D) The beauty of the entire specimen outdoor.

Today, the flowers are gone and our Rhynchovola Jimminey Cricket is resting until the next flowering cycle. Until next post, I hope you will have a great week.
