Outstanding Brassavola! Did you buy it from a breeder at the show? I'm curious who is producing this clone.

Thank you!
Interesting ... what about the leaves would identify this as grandiflora?

Thanks Steve
Unfortunately, this was from the OS member sales, with no info other than the name and 4N. This is my first nodosa, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it does seem that the blooms are huge for the size of the plant. I'm quite tickled with it

Thanks, Nora
It's still small, and I've only had it since January or February, but I guess it's happy so far

Thanks! Yes, it's small, but the blooms are big!
It's growing on the bedroom windowsill, and I love walking in the room after dusk, and getting that wonderful fragrance!

Very nice Sonya. And that is unusual. It looks like this has bloomed on nearly every pbulb. Nice growing. Please keep us updated on it's growth.

Thanks James
Yes, all the pbulbs have bloomed - tho there are two, tiny old leafless ones that I don't know about ...
Hopefully this one will be a good bloomer! No new growth yet, since I got it ...

So pretty! I'm a sucker for that long, narrow leaf and the flower shape definitely makes it appealing to the eye! Great job!
