(Brassavola cucullata × Rhyncholaelia digbyana)

Primary hybrid of B. cucullata and Rl. digbyana. Flowers are night fragrant.

Grown from seed, so flower characteristics will vary somewhat from plant to plant. For example, though all blooms begin from the basic white and creamy yellow/green color palette, some may have a blush tinge to the petals like the flower shown.

Plants Available: Blooming-size plants mounted on cedar rounds as pictured. The first plant pictured is an example of the size you will receive when you order the Cedar Round Mount option.

One driftwood mounted plant also available. The Driftwood Mount available is the second plant pictured.

Orchid Care: Because of the pendulous or drooping nature of the plant and its blooms, mounting or basket culture are recommended.

Grow in bright, indirect light (Cattleya level) with strong air circulation. The frequency with which you water will vary according to the time of year and your growing conditions. In general, plants should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Check the moisture of your media regularly to gauge how quickly it dries throughout the year. When plants are kept in moss, a sharpened no. 2 pencil is handy tool for determining whether water is necessary. Just insert the pencil tip a few inches into the pot; remove after a moment and check the wood for moisture. If wet, wait to water.
