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

AL

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

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

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 have quite a few hybrids - and I enjoy them all .. but like all orchid lovers .. it's always the ones I don't have that I desire more so ;)

:rofl: Tactful answer but...........which one?

Al

I have 2 of them 1 blooms late summer just once .
My favorite is B. nodosa Susan Fuchs X Largo
it blooms several times a year smaller plant but larger blooms .
here is a link to a picture of it . Gin

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.

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!
