The orchid is from Jamaica and is normally red. It can grow in the mangroves near the water. The white form is very rare in the wild. My plant is a product of four generations and each time the best is used for the next generation. You would never find one like mine in the woods. By improving a species, the pressure is off the species left in the woods. It would be like wanting a German Shepard dog, but not a wolf. The dogs are all one specie as are the Bro. sanguinea.
My plant is growing on a palm tree with nothing more then a little fertilizer sprayed its way. Here are some more pictures of the Broughtonias.
