Brassavola Little Stars bloom

The flower opened fully and I didn't detect any fragrance. Is it too cold maybe? I don't know.
The bloom looks pretty though.

B. Little Stars opening flower

I got home from work yesterday and discovered this:



Yes, silly bean pod started to open and actually looks like a flower now!



Of course it is not fully opened yet, and the lip is still curled in, and the evening lighting is pretty bad, so I had to use flash with my camera, so the pictures are not that great, but I will make more on the weekend in the daylight(would be nice if it was sunny too) and maybe the flower will open totally.

Brassavola Little Stars

I don't know what is the deal with this bud. Is it opening? Did it stop developing? Is it drying out? Seems like it looked the same a week ago. Patiently waiting...

B. Little Stars spike

The flower spike on Brassavola Little Stars grew up some more and now it doesn't look like a bud but more like a bean pod. I wonder how long before it will actually look like something that is going to bloom.

Brassavola Little Stars spike

The spike on B. Little Stars grew a bit more, but it started to strangely come out to the side. Does it follow the light maybe? I moved it farther from the window glass to protect from cold, but now it gets less light, perhaps spike is trying to reach sun. Also it looks sort of yellowish, maybe it is drying out and blasting?

B. Lttle Stars update

The growth gets larger. I am still not sure if it is a bud or a spike with several buds. I also have no idea how long will it take to develop into flower/flowers:



I got my Brassavola Little Stars couple months ago from Clouds Orchids as large seedling. Well, it turned out to be blooming size even this small, its pot is just 2 1/2 inch:

Brassavola Little Stars

Looks like my very small Brassavola Little Stars is growing a bud:


Can't wait for the flower!

Brassavola Little Stars

B. Little Stars is a hybrid between Brassavola nodosa and Brassavola cordata. It should have fragrant green/white flowers.
I put it into full sun and it got purplish spots on the foliage. I then moved it behind other catts, hope it will be OK.
