Delicate
honey with passion fruit seems to characterize the fragrance
of Blc. Haleahi Starlight. Brassavola nodosa is noted for
exuding fragrance during the night. In this particular cross
much of the progeny provides a delightful fragrance during
the day, but as night approaches the intensity seems to strengthen.
The plants are neat with their semi-terete foliage and grow
easily in compact form. These hybrids do provide for some
variation in terms of color intensity and amount of spotting.
Blooms unfold in clusters, sometimes in larger proportion
than the plant itself. In time we expect these plants will
provide beautiful specimens with many new leads, resulting
in a wonderful, showy profusion of blossoms.
You may want to move this particular orchid into the house
when in bloom so you can enjoy it's enchanting and alluring
fragrance through the night.
