Yes, the lips are very heart-shaped, aren't they. But the petals also look like a pointy star. Most of my brassavola types bloom at least twice and sometimes 3 times per year, too.
They are my all-time favorite to give as a gift. I got a whole bunch of them last year and gave them to all my friends, and helpers as holiday gifts. We got them in bloom for something like $5 each up in Apopka.
What could be better than an orchid called Little Stars as a holiday gift? Now, what the heck am I going to give everyone this year?? I'd love to give "Everything Nice" but those were a bit more expensive and don't bloom as easily or as often.
