Brassavola cucullata

Brassavola orchids are known as the "ladies of the night". Their fragrance is sweet and reminiscent of lilies and vanilla but their name comes from the fact that they are only fragrant at night. Brassavola culcutta is a more difficult to find species native to Mexico and Central America with narrower leaves than other Brassavolas and characteristic curly flowers of a citrus scent. A great orchid for those familiar with mounted orchid cultivation. 

This is a mature blooming size orchid. Last two are of the mounted plant you will receive.
