If you could have only one B. nodosta, which cross/variety would you choose and why?

Let me start you out with one Ross has for it's petite size -
Brassavola sp. 'Mickey Mouse'
Then there is Bl. Morning Glory (B. nodosa x L. purpurata) one I have admired for a long time -
Bl Morning Glory

I'm sure I could come up with quite a few more
I'd like to see which others are member's favorites

Al - Are you interested in any particular color or color pattern?

No, but I can have only one, I would like to know what others would choose if they were in the same situation and why they chose that one. I think you have at least one Dorothy, why did you pick that one and do you wish you had a different one?

I like the 'Mickey Mouse' do to it's small size. It's mounted on a large stick, I have plenty of room for it, and it looks like a miny Brassavola.

I have a B. Little Stars (nodosa x cordata) that I love due to it's reliability. It is always in bloom from around Thanksgiving to well into January. It's a longer leafed variety though, so Keep that in mind.

If you want some color, try Bc Maikai. It's a classic. Or what about Bc. Yellow Bird? Shoot, there are soooo many! You gotta narrow it down for us!

B. nodosa 'Susan Fuchs' is a nice clone with its big blossoms, broad and curly lips. Won First Class Certificate(FCC) from AOS. Quite unique!

B. nodosa 'Mas Mejor' is another nice clone with narrower lip, flatter leaves, and compact. Won Award of Merit(AM) from AOS.
Brassavola nodosa 'Mas Mejor', AM/AOS, CCM/AOS at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate

This is a great website to check out Brassavola related hybrids too

For hybrid, I heard that Bc. Maikai and Bl. Yellow Bird are very good ones. I also heard that they are fragrant at night.
Maikai 'Louise' AM/AOS is a better clone than 'Maiyumi' according to what I'm reading, maybe I'm wrong so correct me.
Bl. Yellow Bird can change color as the blooms age, cool factor!
