Aliceara Tahoma Glacier
Aliceara Tahoma Glacier is a stunning complex intergeneric hybrid orchid — the result of crossing Bratonia Cartagena with Oncidium Alaskan Sunset. A member of the Orchidaceae family and an intermediate-growing hybrid, it is celebrated for its large, elegant star-shaped flowers — typically white with irregular pink, red, or purplish markings — carried on long, arching stems bearing multiple blooms simultaneously. A possible spicy fragrance adds yet another dimension to this already spectacular hybrid, making it a prized addition to any orchid collection.
