Large starry flowers, the color of key lime pie with a white lip and a yellow-green throat with magenta spots. The nodosa-type flowers can last 4 to 6 weeks. This orchid is an easy grower. Wonderful floral nighttime fragrance.
Procatavola Key Lime Stars is a new hybrid, registered in 2019, that combines Brassavola nodosa with Cattleychea Lime Sherbet, which is Cattleya forbesii crossed with Prosthechea mariae. So everyone in the family tree is compact growing. Plants have short pseudobulbs topped by rather narrow leaves of heavy substance.
Growing Tips: Intermediate to warm temperatures. Bright light and good drainage. Allow the potting mix to become just dry between watering.
