B. nodosa "Decimal"
- My clone of the dwarf type nodosa, similar to the "Minnie

flowers appear giant compared to the plant size. A novalty!
B. nodosa
(Guatemala) - The largest nodosa flowers variety I have seen.
The flower is 7 1/2 inches accross, little droopy, lip is pointed
and curved down. The speudobulbs reach 7 inches or so at the max,
have thich leaves about half inch wide with a V shape channel.
Very impressive when in bloom!

nodosa, very nice shape. The picture is the plant's first bloom
