    Interesting flower. NS is 15.5 cm. Has a pleasant odor. Seems to want open flower one at a time.

    May I be honest? Should I be honest. Oh hell, here I go anyway.

    I'm not feeling it for this flower. Is this the first blooming?

    No, it's not the first blooming. You see it got B. nodosa's petals, sepals, and a big lip. The color is good.

    Yeah, the color is not bad but I wish the lip wasn't so curly. I guess the scent and color could make up for that.

    I have to say i like yours better than mine

    http://www.orchidsinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=1576

    your's has better lip color than mine. MJ asked me b4 if mine stayed as droopy, they opened up a tad more, but remained in need of some Viagra ! i can't tell how much yours is open from that angle. Mine also had NO FRAGRANCE... i am still not happy wasting space on it, with such parents who would have thought the kids would be so FUGLY !!

    Brant, mine is pretty open. The flower has been open for about a week now. I am happy with the dark color.
