Delightful floral fragrance with fruity notes both day and evening. Plant is neat, very compact, 11 inches tall.

It is a cross of B nodosa x Bc Makai. I was pleasantly surprised that I could grow it and bloom it much easier in the house than Bc. Makai and the flowers are bigger and more fragrant.

Correction: Bc. Little Marmaid is C. walkeriana x Bc. Maikai
Thanks PahMad for catching the mistake

I have thinking about getting this plant myself. Very pretty - the fragrance is a nice bonus too!

Sorry, you have the parentage wrong, it is C. walkeriana x Bc. Maikai. Much lovelier this way - 3/4 nodosa would have very narrow petals and sepals.
