Description
This photo was taken at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in Belmont, NC. I attended the end of an Orchid Exhibit and this beautiful luscious flower was my favorite. I am quite a novice when it comes to identifying flowers, but I know what I like. To the best of my understanding this is a Brassolaeliocattleya, which is a hybrid. Brassolaeliocattelyas are a cross between Brassavola, Cattelya and Laelia orchids. They can be recognized by their large labellum or lip. I will probably never be able to speak the name of this flower properly, but I am thankful I can behold its' beauty.
