A compact Brazilian species that has beautiful deep yellow flowers with a dark black chocolate mask in the center and copper/bronze sepals and petals. Likes medium light and intermediate temps. These grow well in sphagnum moss. Allow the moss to just approach dryness between watering.
This species is native to the cloud forests of Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, and is cherished for its colorful, highly fragrant blooms with a sweet hyacinth scent.
These are fast-growing plants when kept in evenly moist conditions. We recommend New Zealand sphagnum moss and very clean water for best results. They often are showing 1–2 spikes, and with new growth emerging.
Burrageara was bred specifically suitable for growing as a house plant. It is one of the fastest growing miniature bright red/orange, flowering eaisy during Spring/ Summer.
