Collector’s item. This B. nodosa comes to us from the breeding of Allen Black, recipient of the American Orchid Society’s 2023 Award for Excellence in Hybridizing. A compact variety of the “lady of the night,” plants from this grex are relatively short in stature. Flowers are often larger than the foliage and tend to have purple spotting around the base of the lip.

As with nodosas more generally, this variety is fragrant at night, easy to grow, and great for beginners—especially those interested in mounting orchids.

Grown from seed, so flower characteristics vary somewhat from plant to plant.

Plants Available: Growing in 3” and 4” pots. Plants in 3” pots are blooming-size, while those in 4” pots may be blooming-size or mature. The 4” Pot option are full plants, with most in bud or bloom in May/June. Orders will be filled with plants in spike/bud/bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.

Orchid Care: Grow in bright indirect light with strong air circulation and moderate humidity. Plants should be allowed to dry between waterings. Mature plants are ideal for mounting or basket culture.
