About Brassavola nodosa (L.) Lindl.
Brassavola nodosa (L.) Lindl. is a small, hardy orchid species. It is native to Mexico, ranging from Tamaulipas south to Chiapas and the Yucatán Peninsula, as well as Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America including Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, and French Guiana. It is commonly called the "lady of the night" orchid, because it releases a fragrance that resembles a mix of citrus and gardenia starting in the early evening. This orchid has been widely hybridized and cultivated for its showy blooms and pleasant scent.
