Currently in bloom, my Rhyncholaelia (Syn Brassavola) Aristocrat, a primary cross of Rhyncholaelia glauca x digbyana. The night-time fragrance is delightful. Flowers measure 5" wing to wing and the frilled lip is two inches wide and long. The plant is mounted on cork tied inside a plastic basket. It blooms annually for me and is always worth the wait.

Great primary! Does this one grow slowly like the Rhyn or more quickly like the Brassavola?

Thanks. I'm really fond of this cross, even though it has been a slow grower.

I don't know if it was a simple accident, but just in case, I looked up the parents of this, and it is Ryncholaelia (syn. Brassavola) Aristocrat, (Rl. gluaca x Rl. digbyana). This is a great flower and it really has the best of both parents!

Oh, for heaven sakes, I surely did mess up. Thanks for catching it. I meant to type digbyana but I guess I had brassavola on my mind. It's fixed now, so thanks again.
