Re: Orchid ID

Thanks, Jim. Could be from Selby--don't remember where I got it, but Selby would be an even-money bet. I tied it in a young ligustrum tree 3 or 4 years ago, and it has adapted very well; this is the second or third time it has bloomed in that location.

It's a hybrid of at least Brassia (from the long, narrow sepals amd
petals) and Brazilian Miltonia (from the elaborate and strongly colored
lip). If it has only those two genera, it would be a Miltassia. Did it
come from Selby ?
