Broughtonia is a genus of orchids that includes around 30 species, native to the Caribbean and Central and South America. These orchids are highly prized for their fragrant, showy flowers and their ease of cultivation.

Broughtonia orchids are epiphytes, which means they grow attached to trees or other plants, using their roots to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. These orchids prefer bright, indirect light and warm temperatures, with high humidity. They are often grown in hanging baskets or mounted on a piece of bark or wood.

Broughtonia orchids are known for their long-lasting, which can last for several weeks. They are also relatively easy to care for, making them a popular choice for both novice and experienced orchid growers. With the right care, these orchids can thrive and reward their owners with beautiful, fragrant flowers year after year. However, due to habitat loss and overcollection, some species of Broughtonia orchids are endangered and in need of conservation efforts.
