Is that a double lip or two blossoms? I just love these guys and can't wait for my nodosa's to grow up and bloom (they are seedlings right now). Nice photo by the way.

Beautiful!
I love the b. nodosa hybrids !
I have a Little Stars x Maikai 'hawaii'
and am awaiting my bl Yellow Bird(Bl. Richard Mueller x Brassovola nodosa), bc Maikai 'Mayumi' (B. nodosa x C. bowringiana)and my Blc. Haleahi Sunbow(Bc. Maikai x Blc. Golden Tang)
Going after Bl Morning Glory and Bl Golden Glory next!
Woohoo!
The fragrance is spicy with a hint of church incense - I know I have smelled it before but still can not totally place it!
It's addicting !

Heehee Ross, it's 2 blossoms just tighly together.
The scent is a very sweet lemon, fills up the room. It's amazing

My gosh Dorothy, I have all of those, you mention, we have the same taste. I'm hoping some of them will bloom this summer. I have found these to grow easily and enjoy them very much.

Thanks for your nice comments ya'll
