Broughtonia cubensis
Broughtonia cubensis is a Cuban native cattleya-like sympodial epiphyte with lightly fragrant small blossoms. This is a second blooming for my plant. It grows in direct sun which is supplemented with a 65 watt compact florescent bulb for those dim days. I water/fertilize it daily.
Hi Ross.. I find your blog through Ron. Your blog really nice...full of info and awesome picture! This orchid (Broughtonia cubensis), is one of my dream list. Your plant very healthy!
We are Bluegreen Vacation Club owners that enjoy vacations in new areas and getting involved doing new activities. For Ross, this usually includes photography--especially local flora. For both of us, this includes sampling the local food and shopping. We are always looking for that perfect dessert as well as another hat or t-shirt or, perhaps, a candle or two.

Hi Ross. I have B. negrilense in flask now. I hope I can get this species too one day. Did you pollinate this plant? jacaranda_boy@yahoo.com
