(B. nodosa x Bc. Richard Mueller)

Classic B. nodosa cross, great for mounting and in landscaping, easy to grow and bloom. Plants reach blooming size in 2” pots and can bloom twice a year or more.

This nodosa hybrid blooms in clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers that may be heavily or lightly spotted. Blooms range in color from light to dark yellow and bear pinprick red spots on the petals and/or lip. Flowers often have a blush cast in bud and as they first open and become more golden as the blooms age.

Our Bc. Yellow Bird are seed-grown, so flower characteristics will vary from plant to plant. Compare the blooms pictured here for an example of these variations.

Plants Available: A limited number of 6” pots are available now (We expect to release our new crop of plants 4” pots in the spring). An example of the 6” Pot option is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in spike/bud/bloom as blooming stock permits.

Orchid Care: As for nodosa-types. Yellow Bird can be acclimated to direct sun, though plants will benefit from some shade during the hottest hours of the day. Makes a great addition to a subtropical yard, e.g. mounted on a palm whose fronds provide some cover from the sun at midday. Mounted plants require daily watering to establish and near daily watering (or rain) throughout the summer.
