Brassavola nodosa Want to Live!

[NYCorchidman]

I bought two B. nodosa at a show in January.
There were bareroot plants.
I potted them up. One of them, the one pictured here, soon turned sick for some reason.
About half the leads developed this dark dry pbs and the leaf would trun yellowish.
I was worried if it picked up some disease.
I was about to toss it but just left it there out of curiosity as to what would happen.

Well, all the "dying" growths are sending up one or two new growths each!
There are total of 8 new growths. very cute!
I think I will keep this.

The other one, healthy one, is also sending up new growths, about 5.
