The Brassia Eternal Wind is a sympodial epiphyte orchid hybrid. It was registered in 1993 M. Sato and is a cross between Brassia Bracdiana and Brassia Rex. This orchid is special because of its large, spidery flowers and sometimes impressive bloom count.
Blooms have a spidery shape, with long thin petals and an elongated broader lip. The petals are a lime yellow color with dark brown blotches. The lip is broader and has the same lime yellow color, but presents smaller dark brown dots. The lower sepals have fewer brown spots than the ones above.
The flowers have moderately strong fragrance that is spicy and sweet at the same time. The fragrance can be sensed in the early hours of the morning throughout the day until the afternoon. At night this orchid has no more fragrance
The pseudobulbs are about 7-8 cm in height and about 4-6 cm in width, with an oval shape. The normal color for this orchid is medium green. The leaves are long and slender, measuring about 30-35 cm in length and about 2-3 cm in width. The leaves are prone to obtain accordion shape growth if the orchid is kept too dry and in too low humidity.
Propagation of this orchid can be done through division, each division should have at least 3 fully grown pseudobulbs for a fast growth further on.
