(C. nobilior var. amaliae ‘Miss Blue’ x C. walkeriana semi-alba)

Primary hybrid of Cattleya species C. walkeriana and C. nobilior. Fragrant. Great for mounting.

Grown from seed, so flower characteristics vary somewhat from plant to plant. Compare the blooms of the two C. Brazilian Jewel pictured for an example of this variation. Here, the first (darker) flower showcases the characteristics of its C. walkeriana parent, while the second (lighter color) flower seems to take more from its C. nobilior parent.

Plants Available: Mature potted and mounted plants. Orders will be filled with plants in spik/bud/bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit; otherwise plants that have bloomed previously. See Plant Selection dropdown menu for current availability.

Orchid Care: We recommend growing C. Brazilian Jewel in a basket or mounted on driftwood (or similar). Grow in very bright, indirect light. Provide moderate humidity and good air circulation. Allow roots and media to dry out between watering. Mounted plants will likely need daily watering during active growth when temperatures are high.
