Aliceara Brassia , Miltonia and Oncidium are the parents of this interesting intergeneric cross.
Beallara Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia, and Odontoglossum make up this large spotted Miltonia shaped genus.
Brassia Brassia is a natural genus that is used to hybridize within the Oncidineae. These flowers with brown, orange, red and green colors have a large spidery look, that is used to give a different shape when used in intergeneric crosses. A good example of this is the hybrid genus Crawwhayara notice the star shaped flower, this is the influence of Brassia. They are epiphytic plants with a stout rhizome and oblong cylindrical pseudobulbs with 2 leaves and the 25 species are found throughout tropical America.
Burrageara Cochlioda, Miltonia, Odontoglosum,and Oncidium are the parents of this newer genera. These grow from cool to intermediate and like to grow in pots.
Colmanara Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium make up this large multiflowered genus.
Crawwhayarara Aspasia, Brassia, Miltonia, and Oncidium are crossed to produce this genus of large lipped multiflowered plants.
Goodleara Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia, Odontoglossum, and Oncidium make up this multiparental plant.
Howeara Rodriguezia, Leochilus, and Oncidium make up these minature Oncidinae.
Milpasia Aspasia and Miltonia make up this genera.
Miltassia Brassia and Miltonia are the makeup of this intergeneric cross.
Miltonia Is a natural genus with ten species ranging through Brazil and into Peru. They have 1 or 2 leaves on the psuedobulb with leaflike sheaths from which the inflorescence arises having non spured flowers with free sepals and petals, a large flat lip, basically no callus, a footless column and 2 hard pollina. They perform well in pots or they can be mounted to tree fern. They are a part of the Oncidium Alliance and are often used in breeding.
Miltoncidium Miltonia and Oncidium are the parents of this intergeneric cross.
Odontocidium Odontoglossum and Oncidium make up this intergeneric cross.
Odontonia This intergeneric cross uses Miltonia and Odontoglossum to create a intermediate to cool grower.
Oncidium Almost 600 species make up the natural genus distinguished by 1 or 2 leafed flattened psuedobulbs usually subtended by distichous leaflike sheaths where the inflorescence emerges from their axil. The flowers are spurless, with the basal part of the lip spread from the column which has no foot, and often with elaborate wings on either side of the stigma. Oncidiums can be epiphytes or more rarely grow on embankments and terrestrially, where they can enjoy any of the four climes depending on the specific environment for that species. There are many potting factors as well but most can adapt to pots, wood mounts, and wood slat baskets. The Oncidium alliance, which includes Odontoglossum, Brassia, Aspasia, Miltonia, Leochilus and many others are intercrossed often in orchid cultivation and are most likely the third most common cultivated orchid after Cattleyas and Dendrobiums.
Psychopsis
Vuylstekeara This is an intermediate to cool growing genera that grows best with pot culture. Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum make up this intergeneric genus.
Wilsonara Cochlioda, Odontoglossum and Oncidium make up this intermediate to cool growing intergeneric genus.
The flower parts of Paphiopedilum are distinctly different than others with it's pouch like lip {#3 in photo} hanging below the sheild shaped "staminode" {#4 in photo} in the center of the flowers and on to the bizarre hairs warts and bumps of the linear petals {#2 in the photo}, and up to the cowl-like upper or dorsal sepal {#1 in the photo}. Sixty some species are found in Southern India to New Guinea and the Philippines. They are also related to our terrestrial Cypripediums of North America, commonly known as lady's slippers. They are best grown in pots with a wood media.
The parents of this cross are P. callosum and P. lawrencianum and it was registered in 1900 by Charlesworth & Co.
The parents of this cross are Mas. Copper Angel and Mas. sanctae-inesae and was registered by Highland Tropicals in 1992.

Below are other orchid sites that I find useful.
A great site to link up to all other orchid sites, includes vendors, societies,universities,and book sites. Orchid Mall Like above a location to find many orchid web sites. Linda's Orchid Hybrid Abbreviations Ever wonder what the heck BLC or Burr or Alcra stood for? Well here's the spot to fix all that, not only are the correct hybrid names given but also what genera are combined to make such a named hybrid. So BLC becomes Brassavola, Laelia and Cattleya , and Alcra. becomes Aliceara comprised of Brassia, Miltonia and Oncidium. Heady stuff this is, as now you can see why it blooms when it does or if it needs a rest or why the leaves fall off. Try it when you buy a new cross.Orchid Digest Photo Exchange
