BEALLARA ORCHID
× Beallara, abbreviated Bllra. in the horticultural trade, is the nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum (Brs. x Cda. x Milt. x Odm.). This plant has a branched stem that grows to about 150 centimetres in height. The leaves are elongated and lanceolate, reaching about 60 centimetres of length. The flowers are numerous, about 14 to 16, and last long, between 20 to 30 days. It has fleshy large pseudobulbs. These orchids are commonly cultivated in greenhouses for ornamental purposes, resulting in a huge variety of cultivars of different colours.

Orchids are beautiful but scare me. I have a neighbour who always asks me to mind hers when she goes away and I always chicken out, as I'm afraid I might kill it.
