I want. That thing looks gorgeous. I have some weird affinity for Brassavolas. Can you describe the scent?

Santa Barbara orchid estates
I was trying to complete my Brassavola collection and they had them hidden in a back greenhouse, they had 4 of the 5 that I was missing. Now I have every Brassavola species known.

Scent is very sweet, not citrus just sweet and strong in morning, open up GH and it hits you, yum!
I have all Brassavola species now. |

My goal is to have every Brassavole species. Currently I only have 6... A long way to go.
The scent is interesting within Brassavola. They each seem to have the same base scent but nodosa is more spicy. Of the ones I have, my favorite is cordata v. alba (subulifolia) and perrinii. They are just sweet and it smells wonderful.
Three foot long leaves of frag. must be a show stopper. Thanks for posting. I always like to see new stuff. |
