Ada ocanensis

[smweaver]

Formerly a species of brassia, Ada ocanensis has fragrant flowers that share the same spider-like shape that other members of its extended family display. It grows warm for me during the summer, but would probably appreciate cooler temperatures throughout the year; it especially seems to thrive during the winter when the nights drop to the range of 50 to 54 C.

I think they look like dancers. I have been wanting to get something from this genus (?) in memory of my mom. She was a dance teacher and her name was Ada.

Lovely blooms! They're very spider like.
