What type of Brassia is it?

[Orquiadicto]

Can anyone help me identifying this Brassia?
Not that it really matters, I was just wondering. The bloom isn't completely open yet, so I don't know if it will be possible to identify it already.

Hi,It mustbe a sort of hybrid with Brassia.It looks like Miltassia or Degarmoara to me

Brassia cochleata maybe? http://www.orchidsonline.com.au/file...acochleata.JPG

Possibly a Brassidium, but without a tag, impossibly to give a name to. Very nice tho!

I've been "googling" a bit. Could it be a Brassia Gilded Urchid Ontario?
If necessary, I can upload a picture of the plant itself, with it's pseudo bulbs. Perhaps this will help.

Well, it really could be anything, but without a tag you'll never know for sure. Even some orchids with tags are labeled wrong. Just be glad it looks nice, and give it a name yourself, however unofficial.

I really don't care about the name. Just curiosity. I've just baptised her as "My Brassia"

It looks somewhat like Brassidium Fly Away Miami which is a fairly common one. But it has the look of a number of them so no way to name it for sure. If you have a tag with the Grower's name, you could try and contact them and ask what it is. Some people do have some luck with that.

Just a little update on how my Brassia is doing. It's months agot that it finished blooming. Now it has two new growths, or at least I think they are. However, I noticed both on the day I decided to repot to change medium. One has already grown a lot, but the other one ist still the same size as when I discovered it. Any guess on why? I hope the pictures are clear enough. I gtook them with my i-Pad. I've had the plant outside but I've put her back inside. what is the best location? I have a north-west facing garden. Would it be better to put her outside?

I don't know why, but my Brassidium Spider Star started two growths on each of two pulbs, and only one on each is developing. So maybe it's a Brassia thing? As long as it's growing I wouldn't worry too much.

I haven't yet grown any Brassia hybrids through the summer (I have two...), so I'm not too sure about putting them outside. I think you probably want to be thinking about keeping it on the cool, humid and shady side. So which is better might depend on what your house and garden are like!
