Brassavola
Speakers Beth Martin

This month we will be having an AOS Webinar on Brassavolas also known as Lady of the Night.  The speaker will be Beth Martin an AOS Accredited Judge. 

Brassavola orchids don't mind not having a lot of water, but they can't stand low humidity.  Research has indicated that they will tolerate 40% humidity and still bloom, which makes them a great beginner orchid. They are a beautiful and graceful orchid.

Brassavola orchids are a smaller genus, only having 28 orchids in them. Each one has a specific and distinct blooming season according to their species. In this Webinar we will see photos of all the 28.  We will also see many of photos and the many crosses made with Brassavola.
