Chysis bractescens

13 years ago

A large, warm growing epiphyte growing from Mexico to Peru. Prefers to grow pendulous. Only 6 species of this genus but has given rise to some really spectacular hybrids. I have a couple but have to cool my heels as they need to get large before they'll bloom.

I've always admired this one, but I don't have room to grow it. Thanks for posting.

If you look real close you can see a purple blush on a couple of the sepals. It's not a shadow on the plant in good light it is noticable. This may indicate that it is a little bit of a natural hybrid as a 'pure' bractescens is white without that blush. Does not bother me just a point of interest.
