    Great cultivar of the classic B. nodosa, it has the classic night fragrance of its parent, but larger flowers, and it is more vigorous, growing nearly twice as fast as my plant of B. nodosa. It does very well in a wood slat basket, with daily water, and weak fertilizer spray each week in winter and twice a week in summer. My orchids do grow outdoors year round, so they get quite cool in winter (with protection below 50 deg.) and up to 95 deg. in summer. This orchid loves some direct morning sun inside my screened pool enclosure even in summer.
