Brassavola nodosa is a small new world orchid native from Mexico to northern South America. It has a citrus and gardenia-like fragrance at night.

Brassavola nodosa orchid, commonly known as lady of the night, is commonly found in collections and originates from all throughout Latin America. The flowers have a distinct look which shows strongly in the multitudes of hybrids of which it is a parent. It is extremely easy to grow and has pleasantly-scented flowers which are unconventionally fragrant at night. An illustration of how tough this orchid is; it has been recorded growing on trees in mangrove forests where it is sometimes splashed with salt water.

These flowers are all from the same hybrid! Look at all that variation - these must be seedlings instead of clones.
