Maxillaria jeurgensii in bloom

[howze01]

Got this from Andys Orchids a few months back at the show at Rutgers. Had no idea it was even blooming until I walked past it and got a strong cinnamon smell from it. Really like the subtle flowers. Best picture I could get from my phone and I don't have batteries for my camera...

So sweet! Reminds me of a flock of hungry baby birds waiting to be fed.

Love the scent you describe.

That's a cutie!

Like Dendrobium prenticei with better flowers.

What a nice surprise, I could take that smell from an orchid. Baby birds

They do look like baby birds!

Think I've discovered that growing mounted is the way for me to go. I also picked up a Den. antennatum from Andy's and that's in spike too. I seem to be able to handle mounted orchids better. A quick run under a faucet every other day and they are very happy. even easier when I can finally get them outside. A spray with the hose and I'm done. Just need to start transitioning my others. Shouldn't be too hard since many of my orchids that are indoors for the winter were in a room that got too cold and it killed them... Lost some that I'm really not happy about losing...
