Brassocattleya Yellow Bird
(Brassovola nodosa x Brassocattleya Richard Mueller)
This orchid comes from Rainbeau Orchids in Milton, GA. I love that it produces a lovely sweet aroma at night! When I bought it it was in full bloom but the roots were very dried out so I repotted it right away. I had to cut it out of its little net pot and remove all the dead roots. It’s still in bloom, but my sunroom is too cold and doesn’t get enough light for Cattleyas. When it’s done blooming I’ll put it on a heat mat under grow lights.
Updates
July, 2025 I’ve recently moved from Atlanta, GA to Newark DE. It is very hot and much more humid here, which is great for all the orchids. We’ll see what happens in the winter when the humidity is 0 This one is spending the summer outside, where it gets bright light with a little late afternoon sun. It is very happy and is starting to bloom with 6 flowers. These Brassocattleyas are so
History and Features
The Brassocattleya Yellow Bird orchid produces large, showy blooms with delicate ruffled petals in vibrant shades of yellow, sometimes displaying subtle hints of green at the edges. A resilient hybrid orchid, it features strong pseudobulbs and typically presents multiple flowers on each stem, creating a striking display when in full bloom. As twilight approaches, the flowers release a sweet, intoxicating fragrance to attract night-pollinating moths, filling the evening air with their distinctive perfume.
