Very nice Pheli, I have one but it isn't going to blossom for me. I'm not doing something I should be.
Was so hoping I would get a whif this year......

Al, B. nodosa usually blooms from early autumn till late winter. If your plant has some new growths that are growing actively, they may come to bloom while the pseudobulbs get matured.
Moderate dryness and enough sunlight will be helpful for them to flower.

Thanks Pheli, the sunlight is a problem........I don't get much in the house. How does it hold up to cool temps..............low 50's???

It is no problem for the species to tolerate low temps.( low 50's) But during the cold days, keep the medium as dry as possible is needed.

Thanks Pheli, I thought I had done my homework on this before I got it but everyone's input is appreciated.
Sounds like I can leave it outside for a bit longer where it will get brighter light.
