Victory and defeat in the cultivation of plants of the Cattleya Alliance.
Brassolaelia Yellow Bird
Published Sunday, January 15, 2006 by Damon | E-mail this post 
Bl Yellow Bird is a backcross between Bl Richard Meuller (B. nodosa x L. milleri) and B. nodosa. This plant is fantastic in that it is easy to grow, gives away blooms at every new growth and is fragrant. Like many Richard Meuller hybrids, Yellow Bird flowers change color as they age. Starting of a peachy orange, they transistion into a bright yellow at maturity. I'm hoping that Bl. Yellow Bird will make a good parent for future hybridizing attempts, particularly with L. gouldiana. With Laelia gouldiana as a parent I'd hope to get the benefits of thermotolerance, color, and spotting.
