Intergeneric Orchid
× Beallara Star Gazer ‘Hilo Fantasy’
There seems to be a lot of
interruptions as this post gets born. Since × Beallara has an ‘x’ in the name
we know it's a hybrid. In this case since the x precedes the genus it is an intergeneric
hybrid. The genera Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum are combined
since orchids have an abbreviation system for its genera it looks like this
Brs. x Cda. x Milt. x Odm. × Beallara hybrids come in a good range of colors.
The flowers are a bit sassy and often quite bold. These orchids can produce
their wonderful spikes under cooler conditions.
Tonight is the monthly trio
gig at Java’s. It is pretty much a retirement for my old Stratocaster after the
pick guard starting falling apart. It’s just too fragile to go out of the house
now. I have decided to play one more band gig with it and then that is it.
