Burrageara
Burragearas are frequently seen for sale in the high street especially the cultivar “Nelly Isler”. They do not exist in the wild as they are complex man-made hybrids created from crossing four orchid genera (Cochlioda x Miltonia x Odontoglossum x Oncidium). This inter-generic mix was bred specifically to create an orchid suitable for growing as a house plant. It grows in standard orchid growing media and has an intensely sharp citrus fragrance.
