Brassavola perrinii
|
The species within Brassavola
have cascades of mainly white
flowers that are more or less fragrant.
The most well-known is Br. nodosa,
or Lady of the Night, that emits a strong but pleasant fragrance especially
during the night (next post). Br. perrinii cannot compete when it comes to fragrance but, at
least according to Arne, the flowers are superior in shape and the species as
such is much more floriferous and a specimen plant is quite a sight.

This plant arrived a little more than a year ago. It had long grass-like growths and the vendor told Arne that he had decided to ship them in pots rather than mounted because of their awkward shape. Arne mounted it as soon as he could because these plants really do not like pots. That process disturbed it quite much though and that is why it only has a few flowers this year. But it had to be done and from now on it will grow fast.
