Brassavola glauca (or whatever they are calling it for the past decade).
From Mexico again, I think. Thick leaves, and so fragrant it'll knock your
socks off, in teh daytime, not at night unlike B nodosa. This one just kinda
sorta grew big. I never noticed it untill it had about 19 flowers on it.
Again, it must thrive on neglect. Again, just back from teh POE

Rhyncholaelia glauca now, along with Rhyncholaelia digbyana, the species
that gives such fabulous frilly lips to Catt hybrids.

Literally, I ignore it. Its hanging high in the GH where it gtes direct sun
through the GH doorway in the early AM and brightest light the rest of the
day. I recall someone saying that if you want them to bloom water them. I
saw sheathes forming, started watering and voila. I had 5 flowers open 3
days before the show, brought it inside my house where its warmer at night
and 4 more opened. I brought it home from the show with all these blooms!
I hope it hangs on till the DVOS meeting. Its'll probably never bloom like
this again, LOL! I need someone I know to see that I could do this, LOL!

Wow, that's really nice. I thot mine was doing well with 4 flowers Good
growing. Either last year or the year before mine had 6 flowers (I think)
and it got nominated for an AOS cultural award... I like the basket - mine
needs repotted and that looks to be a good way to grow it.

Oh and I agree with what you said in a later post - lotsa light and water...

Watch out for the basket. Mine's beginning to die out in the center and I
have no idea how to repot and divide...other than taking a saws-all
reciprocating saw to the plant and quarter it. So it looks great from the
side and below, but from the top its got a little bald pate, sort of like a
monk's tonsum.
