Where can I buy this one?
Also, are the leaves very narrow like brassavola?
At least it appears to be from what I can tell in the picture. Great!!!

NYC, it's been so long, but I think this was a bag baby from one of the BB stores...at this time, most of mine are. I was buying them years ago, with no real idea what I was doing...the label said Fragrant so I was all over that like a spider monkey - that's one my criteria for baggers! This was the second season for blooming with this plant.
As far as the leaves go, they are on the narrow side, but not like any Brassavola I'm familiar with (which doesn't say much!). And they are flat...measured at 2" wide and 10" long (after Pbulb).
So, after two seasons of success (and y e a r s of waiting!) with the majority of my baggies blooming, I'm hooked!! Impatiently awaiting for my Blc. Gleneyries Green Giant...I feel hopeful that this last one will be a bloomer this season.
Edit: The blooms are almost all spent now, but the little life that's left in them still perfume the air!
