  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

  • Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? and How!
    Do Orchids Grow in Hawaii? And How! SYNOPSIS This is an historical sketch of the Saga of Orchids in Hawaii. The sequence of events from the incidental introduction of species by the Agriculturists for the Sugar Industry; to their efforts in propagation and culture, hybridizing and germination; to the development of personal nurseries to commercial ranges; and ultimately to the creation of a viable orchid industry, re­ cognized world wide; to the natural formation of orchid societies staging of orchid shows; and finally to the introduction of a system of orchid judging , should bring interesting reading to orchidists, amateur and professional alike.

  • Lady of the Night Orchid, Brassavola Nodosa
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 6 Sept 2004 Lady of the Night Orchid, Brassavola nodosa Lady of the Night is the common name of Brassavola nodosa, an epiphytic orchid native to low-lying coastal regions of Central and Southern America. It is widespread from Mexico to Colombia and throughout the Caribbean coast and islands, and ranges into Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It is generally found in lowland tropical forests or mangrove swamps, growing on trees or on exposed rocks and cliffs near the shore. The white to pale green fl owers are usually about 3½ inches in diameter (but some may be up to 6 inches), and wonderfully fragrant in the evening. Each fl ower has long, slender sepals and petals, and a large, heart-shaped lip on the tubular lower petal. The lip may have purple or dark red spotting inside the tube. B. nodosa is a very easy orchid to grow, adapting to a wide range of conditions in cultivation. A large specimen plant may have dozens of fl owers, making quite a display; but even a single fl ower The white fl owers of Brassavola nodosa spike is quite rewarding. It likes the same conditions cattleya and produce a lovely fragrance in the evening. laelia orchids do, so if you can grow them successfully, this is a species to consider growing. Provide the plant with good light and intermediate temperatures (65º to 80ºF during the day with a 10ºF drop at night) for best fl owering. It may not fl ower, however, if kept at temperatures below about 55ºF.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. This survey assessed some aspects of the reproductive biology of Brassavola cebolleta Rchb. f. (Orchidaceae) in the Municipality of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. Floral biology, breeding systems, floral visitors and seed germination were analyzed. Differential success and fruit production rate were calculated. Pollination system indicated the pollen vector dependence and absence of pre-zygotic barriers related to self- incompatibility. Pollination occurred at night, being the potential pollen vector a Lepidoptera-Notodontidae of the genus Hemiceras. Differential success of male was 19%, female 9%, and the rate of effective fructification was 6.3%. Fruits produced after pollinator visits were larger than those generated by manual cross pollination, and despite the lower number of potentially viable seeds produced by the first, they presented a higher germination rate in asymbiotic media. This study warns to the vulnerability of the studied species, since the habitat fragmentation associated with pollinator scarcity and seed predation may significantly decrease new recruitment into populations. Key words: floral biology, fructification, pollination, breeding system.

  • 2009 Orchid List
    2009 ORCHID LIST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Dear Friends, Here is our new 2009 List of new hard-to-find, interesting, unusual, and proven species. Following through with our promise to gradually move from print to the Internet, we no longer will print and mail color photos. Producing those beautiful color pages has been a lot of fun, but it is time to move on. There are only a few us working and we need to put all of our time and energy towards what we do best; producing more new items and introducing them to the market faster. We are putting a lot of energy into new photos for our website, though, and 2009 will have the most new photos posted for any year since we developed the website. If you must have some color printed material, for a limited time we can mail you a collection of some of our best color pages for $5.00. These color pages are already “collector’s items”. Also, some of you may not be aware of Jay Pfahl’s excellent website; the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia – a priceless resource, you can see photos of thousands of orchid species there. This List is only a partial listing of all the species that will become available this year. Please check our website frequently to see all the latest species as they are added. The website also has “special offers”. Our lab operation is looking great - and there are hundreds of exciting species yet to be offered. You can help us save time by ordering on-line.
