My pip squeek .

[Gin]

This is a little B.nodosa (Susan Fuchs) 'Largo' I won from the raffle table at the O club meeting . It is in a 2 inch pot . Just the one bloom but larger than the one below .
The other one is old Spiney a B.nodosa , just going out of bloom . Gin

Hi Gin. Your description of the name for the nodosa in the first picture is a little confusing. B. nodosa Susan Fuchs should read B. nodosa 'Susan Fuchs' FCC/AOS. Where does the 'Largo' come in. Seems it should be either 'Susan Fuchs' or 'Largo', not both. Maybe it is a selfing of 'Susan Fuchs', with the particular plant you have named 'Largo'?

This naming business seems to be a free-for-all sometimes. On one forum, Cattleya skinneri 'Largo', which I have, was called C. skinneri v.largo '..something..'. Somebody renamed the clone to their own choice of name, a no-no. I also picked up a Paph on a raffle table because I thought it was the species charlesworthii. It had a lable that read P. charlesworthii 'Laser'. But the only Laser I found on the internet was a hybrid of P. charlesworthii and some other Paph. When this blooms, I suspect I will have a bit of a disapointment. Cynthia

I think I may have the same plant, but it hasn't bloomed yet. I have mine listed as Brassavola nodosa 'Susan Fuchs' x 'Largo'. Could that be yours?

Pretty, by the way.

Sure is Kev , who ever wrote the tag did not do it right and it is faded , Thanks I will make my own tag , It is not a seedling , a piece of a larger plant probably why it bloomed . Gin

I like spiny. I would guess it took about 8 years to grow into a ball. Mine is still only half that size.

Hi Jerry, Poor old Spiney suffered my care for a long time ,I kept repotting it , not enough light, ect. It is over 10 years old , I have taken pieces off of it over the years . It goes outside in the spring , in the fall is hanging out with the Vandas . Gin

Spiney is one nice looking plant! By the way HI Gin! I wish I could put August as my avatar here too

[Gin]

Hi jenn, good to see a familiar face There is supposed to be a way to do a custom avatar but the browse function does not show up when I try too . Gin

[eikon]

wow, thats little if that's a pip squeek, than my nodosa may not even exist

[Cynthia, Prescott, AZ]

eikon, Pip squeek and old Spiney are two different plants.

Gin, the custom avatar worked for me when I tried a while back, hence the Laelia sincoran for me. Cynthia
