Bc. Back-cross? Male
Default Bc. Back-cross?

Just captured an orchid image whose tag began with "Bc.". Web search turned up the following example:

":...made by backcrossing Brassavola nodosa into Brassocattleya Morning Glory...Brassocattleya Wonder Star = Brassavola nodosa x Brassocattleya Morning Glory".

Why would the resulting hybrid not have a new name?

Had not heard of backcrossing. But does that mean that a hybrid is back-crossed into itself? Does that make sense? Seems a bit convoluted, or perhaps, incestuous?
