Default Brassavola grandiflora (?) in bloom

I got this two years ago from members sales at a local OS show; tagged Brassavola nodosa 4N 'Cozette'. When I posted it in bloom last year, it was pointed out to me that the leaves and blooms looked to be B grandiflora, which was in the past classified as a variety of nodosa - so, seems right to me

2 spikes, 5 large (5"), wonderfully (nocturnally) fragranced blooms. The tallest growth is a total of 9".

Thanks for looking

That is really beautiful! I also like how the entire flower is white instead of having some green. Enjoy that fragrance!

Often cited as a synonym of B nodosa but differs in the wider, flatter, less terete leaf and much bigger flowers.

I'm pretty sure that's a grandiflora.
Never seen a nodosa (or any Brassavola except venosa) with such wide leafs
