Brassada Orange Delight is a Ada and Brassia hybrid
Description[]
This hybrid is an interesting example of using Ada aurantiaca to produce an orange flowering Oncidiinae hybrid. Similar results of successful use of Ada aurantiaca are Brassada Mem Bert Field, and Adaglossum Mandarin - using Brassia Rex, and Rhynchostele bictoniensis as the other parent, respectively. Brassada Orange Delight bears many orange flowers with some dark spots on the sepals, and a Ada aurantiaca-like labellum.
