B. nodosa x L. purpurata

Opening up







---Acquired this guy at an orchid and plant sale at a local botanical garden. It was still wrapped up tight in bud and just begun opening yesterday.

I was told there was a 50% chance of fragrance, but none has been detected yet.

I hope it looks better next time around. It is its first time blooming. I'm not a fan of how much the lips curled outward and how floppy the dorsal sepal on the left one is. I still like it, though.

Great pictures and the color is lovely.

Try detect the fragrance at night. Who knows it will be from the purpurata parent or the nodosa parent...

How beautiful! I have just bought a Bc Tetradip 'Junko' which has nodosa in it too. I can't wait for it to arrive. I hope it is half as lovley as your one.

It's amazing how strong the nodosa is in breeding. I would expect it to be scented at night as well (because of the nodosa).

Beautiful flower! Any pics of the plant?

I went to a friend's birthday party last night and when I came home I smelled it again. Did not detect a fragrance but it is still a new flower. I'll try again tonight. I was also kind of congested. haha Darn colds

I have some pictures of the plant but it will be a bit before I can upload them.

Here is one with my Brassavola hyrbids. Its on the far right with the skinny purple buds.
