Very nice Tess. By the sounds of it, they are very fragrant? Are they easy to take care of? For a newbie let's say?

They are very fragrant at night Helen and very easy to take care of. It use to bloom under fluorescent lights....just 2 or 3 flowers but it bloomed all the same.
It's about 6 years old.....it was an ebay purchase Thank you all for the compliments

Same results here growing nodosa under fluorescent lights - faithful bloomer, just with less flowers.

Ladies of the evening.........did you ever smell something so sweet!

Wow, those are monster plants you both have there! The blooms for some reason remind me of Angreacum sesquipidale. Hope I spelled that right.
