Hi All, I have two plants of Brassavola species both of which are not labelled. The one plant I was given by delegates from Brazil to the 10th World Orchid Conference in Durban in 1981 and I erroneously labelled this as Brassavola nodosa (which as far as I now know does not occur in Brazil). The other plant also came from a nursery in Brazil. Both plants look similar but flower about 2-3 months appart and there are differences in size. Can anyone advise me how I would tell the difference between Brassavola tuberculata and Brassavola flagellaris? I have checked in all the books in my personal library but cannot find anything that distinguishes these two species and I certainly cannot find good line drawings that would help me (I find Pabst and Dungs completely unhelpful!!) Many thanks for any help that anyone may be able to provide Mike O'Connor South Africa
