Thank you Rosie and Ted

Wow, what a beauty, and so healthy looking. Mine has two blossums and is on the puny side. Please tell us a bit more about the spanish moss you have intertwined. I have access to unlimited amounts of spanish moss. Also the amount of sun, if any, you give it.

OMG! I agree~ The weather is so very bipolar this year. It got super hot and then it rains and now its windy and cold? But the weather must be perfect cause my plants are happy enough.
I love your B. Nodosa! I got a small plant way back when and have been trying to nurse it back into health. I am afraid it might be on its last bit of strength and I may lose it before it ever even got to blooming size. >< Teaches me a lesson about buying baby plants as an amateur.
Went to an orchid show to find a mature plant but nobody was selling. I will persevere! In saving my original and/or getting a mature plant.

Hello Orchonubee and thank you and another one,I have this brassavolla for almost ten years and bought it when was very small,it is the very easy orchid for me to grow.It is mounted on piece of wood and it is hanging above my cattleya's so it gets a lot of light(3000-4000).I water every other day and fertilize it once a week.Spanish moss it is attached just for decoration.Good luck with yours.

Thank you so much for your informative reply. I had all kind of suppositions regarding the spanish moss, and none of them were correct. LOL You did help me with the amount of light, and I will slowly increase, as mine is kept in mostly shade.

I thought about buying one of these but decided not to at the last minute... I may just have to go back after it
