Name: Brassocattleya n.r. (Bc. Bee Suite × C. White Chinderela)
Etymology: Brassocattleya = hybrid genus from Brassavola and Cattleya; n.r. = not registered (cross not yet officially registered with the RHS).

First description: This is a modern, artificially created primary or multi-hybrid (hobbyist cross) for which no official grex name has yet been registered.
Origin / Distribution: Garden hybrid (the parent species involved originate from the tropical regions of Central and South America).
Location / Habitat: Epiphytic in cultivation. Since the ancestors (such as Brassavola nodosa and various Cattleya species) grow in warm, bright, and well-ventilated lowland to mountain forests, this hybrid requires a temperate to warm microclimate with high humidity and a distinct drying-out phase between waterings.

Description & Notes: This promising cross combines the best traits of compact mini-Cattleyas. From the maternal component Bc. Bee Suite, the plant inherits a robust, slender growth habit and a tendency for star-shaped flowers with graceful petals. The influence of Cattleya White Chinderela introduces excellent genes for elegant, high-contrast coloration and a strongly emphasized, often elegantly patterned or fringed lip. The waxy flowers are very long-lasting and can emit a pleasant fragrance depending on the clone.

In cultivation, this hybrid proves to be very vigorous and adaptable, thanks to its pronounced cross-vitality (heterosis effect). It requires a very bright to sunny location, but should be protected from direct midday sun in midsummer. Coarse pine bark in well-draining pots or baskets is a suitable substrate. During the new shoot growth in summer, it is watered regularly; however, waterlogging must be strictly avoided – the substrate should almost completely dry out before the next watering. A moderate rest period in winter with reduced water and cooler temperatures promotes bud formation in the spring.
