Rhyncholaelia Aristocrat
 

Currently in bloom, my Rhyncholaelia (Syn Brassavola) Aristocrat, a primary cross of Rhyncholaelia glauca x digbyana. The night-time fragrance is delightful. Flowers measure 5" wing to wing and the frilled lip is two inches wide and long. The plant is mounted on cork tied inside a plastic basket. It blooms annually for me and is always worth the wait. :)

Great primary! Does this one grow slowly like the Rhyn or more quickly like the Brassavola?

Thanks. I'm really fond of this cross, even though it has been a slow grower.

I don't know if it was a simple accident, but just in case, I looked up the parents of this, and it is Ryncholaelia (syn. Brassavola) Aristocrat, (Rl. gluaca x Rl. digbyana). This is a great flower and it really has the best of both parents!

Oh, for heaven sakes, I surely did mess up. Thanks for catching it. I meant to type digbyana but I guess I had brassavola on my mind. It's fixed now, so thanks again.

Fabulous!
