B. nodosa

[quiltergal]

I know these are pretty ordinary, but it is the first flowering for me. It opened shortly after Christmas. We were out of town for the holiday and the buds elongated right into the T5 bulb they were under. It burned the tips, and I think there would have been 4 flowers instead of just 3 had it not touched the bulb. I seem to be having problems like that lately.

Wonderful, Terri. Don't you just hate this time of year when lights are a necessary evil and you miss a simple thing like spike growing into lights? Great flowers anyways.

Excellent nodosa , can't wait for mine to bloom, keep looking but it seems they are in hiding

Is this one of the large or smaller varieties?

How do you like the scent of the flower?

[DebsC]

No orchid is ordinary to me and yours are quite lovely. I can almost smell them through the screen! Very nice!!!

Steven, it's in a 3.5" pot and the plant is about 8-10" tall. Flowers are about 3-4" from tip to tip.

The scent is very nice. It has a very spicy almost barbershop smell. I don't get any real flowery smell from it at all.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I'm going to repot in the spring and hopefully will have more spikes. It's kicking out a new growth now.

That spicey smell is what i pick up from my Brassia verucosa. Kind of like nutmeg or cinnamon or something.
