Matthew grows both B. nodosa and B. Little Stars (nodosa x cordata), a primary hybrid with smaller, more numerous flowers than B. nodosa, but the same intoxicating nocturnal perfume. The B. nodosa specimen pictured here was a young seedling when he acquired it, and it’s been grown mounted on a piece of cholla wood ever since.
