Compact
plant growth, attractive deep green foliage with exceptional
plant vigor and disease resistance makes Brassia Eternal Wind
(a clone) a wonderful pot plant to raise. Multi-spiking becomes
apparent after plants reach full maturity, with spikes of
long slender spider-like chartruese petals mottled in mocha
brown.
Brassias
or "spider orchids" provide a point of interest
for orchids growers. The unusual blooms remind us that orchids
have adapted unique "survival" mechanism to entice
pollinators from all walks of nature.
In the case of the Brassias, we probably wouldn't want to
encounter their potential pollinator, but we can enjoy their
unusual blossoms in the safety of our own home or greenhouse.
