Surprised by my Banfieldara!
I somehow acquired this orchid without ever wanting it. It had one spike, some spotted leaves and a bunch of desiccated buds looking like they were dead before they ever grew. And I certainly had no idea what a "Banfieldara" was. This one is called Gilded Tower 'Thai Gold' (patent process initiated, whatever that means). Anyway, I did find out that it was a hybrid consisting of Ada x Brassia x Odontoglossum - not really my favorites. It's been resented and neglected since I found it among the orchids I DID bring home from a local nursery. But lo and behold what I found this morning!
