B. amazonica (Brazil) - The flower is waxy green with little hint
of reddish. The lip is white with green center, with no fringe
on the lip. I only get one flower per spike on this plant.
B. martiana (labeled, Brazil) - The plant produces relatively
large flower for its size. The shape of the flower matched the
other B. martinana from Venezuela that I have seen before, the
only difference is my clone does not have the fringe on the lip.
I also get only one flower per spike.
