    Default Brassidium Shooting Star 'Black Gold'

    Another fairly large plant that is easy to bloom. It usually blooms in the late Spring and then again in the late Fall if it is making more than one new lead at a time. The smell is strange and hard to describe. Plastic, maybe?

    This is one of the easiest for me to bloom, also. I just had a spike finish up in mid-may on my 2-lead growth plant. And now it has a new spike which is a foot long and should bloom in a month. And I've just noticed another spike which is 4 inches long. A quality cross altogether. Everyone: "A quality cross". I love how they change color over time.

    Finally! Someone who thinks that too
    That is how I perceive the scent of my NOID brassidium. I could not properly identify the scent, it smells like brand new plastic containers out of the box or someone making generic candles.
