Brssia Type ... mebee?
Several months ago, I noticed a new orchid growing right at eye level on one of our driveway palms.
I have a multitude of Dendrobium Samurai hybrid seedlings started all over the yard from those I have mounted.
I assumed it was one of them, 'casuse it looked kinda like one.
Then a few days ago, I noticed it again.
Something wasn't right with it.
It had a bud on it that looked like it might be a Brassia type.
The plant itself did look like a Dendrobium type, though.
But, the bud didn't look like any Dendrobium I'd ever seen.
The leaves were close to the same size, but thicker, heavier and shiner than any of the D. Samurai's.
I just remembered it again today, so went out to get a pic of its bud.
Lo and behold the bud had opened.
Again, it doesn't look like any Dendrobium I've ever seen.
It does look like it might be a Brassia, but again, doesn't look like ANY orchid I've ever seen.
It must be a feral seeded from someone else's property.
So, Whata' H---is it?
