Brassocattleya (Bc.)Jairak Kiku

[sharon lynn]

Good morning, I have a question..is Brassocattleya (Bc.) Jairak Kiku a miniature orchid? I was up late last night & apparently lost my mind ...I ordered online 3!! different orchids that I know nothing about ,they had pretty pictures 😆..they are called Odontocidium Everglades Elegance ‘Nancy Lee’, Howeara Lava Burst ‘Puanani’ AM/AOS(in spike) I really hope I don’t kill any of them ! Anyway, any help is very welcome on all of them ...I’m thinking I’ll be doing a lot of research..😁

Bc. Jairak Kiku is Cattleya loddigesii x Brassavola Little Stars. The first is what I'd call "compact", and the pollen parent is quite compact, so I believe the offspring won't be huge. The odontocidium will be taller, for sure.

I nearly got one some months ago, and the vendor described it on their site as a rather compact growing Catt. I agree that the Odontocidium will be the largest orchid of the lot in the long run. Keep in mind that the Catt will need higher light levels than the 2 Oncidium types.

Thanks for the reply’s ,Ray & Camille..I spent a lot of time yesterday doing research. It should be interesting 😁..my adventures with orchids other then my Phal’s will begin soon.. I have had good luck with them so am hoping for same with new types as well !..
Hope springs eternal!🤩

Phalaenopsis are the gateway drug
