No bloom credit for me, as I got this in bud. Only 2 flowers on this small plant.

Sweet little bloom
I love the coloration
Is it fragrant?

Thanks for sharing

Wow beautiful colors! I know you mentioned you just got it, but what are it's required growing conditions?

[bejay]

Dorothy, I haven't detected any fragrance yet.

Becca, I am treating it like a "regular" brassavola (I am using Baker's guide for brassavola: Brassavola nodosa Culture ). As I grow mostly phals under T8, I specifically got a clamp light and 42w CFL (what was then available at big box store) for the area where this plant is located, and plan on replacing it with a 55w CFL.

Wow that's a really interesting cross! I like it!

[shams]

Those are some gorgeous colours! I love it. How big is the plant and the flower itself?

[DebsC]

Very pretty and I love the sheen!

Shams,
The plant is in a 3" pot, longest leaves are 7", and the flower is close to 2.5" wide. No fragrance it can detect.

The colours are a riot!
