This week's TOPIC: Brassavolas and their Hybrids
This talk provides an overview of the wonderful genus Brassavola. The popularity of these species and their colorful hybrids has been growing steadily over the past decade. This presentation reviews the 19 currently recognized species, shows how they fit in your collection, and pokes a little fun at the taxonomical gymnastics currently affecting the genus.
