Stanhopea Grandiflora
You guys are gonna think I'm nuts but I was so afraid that I was going to miss this blooming, I took it down to Sue's house when we went to the Tampa show 
Needless to say, it didn't bloom UNTIL THIS MORNING!!!
So as promised, Sue  |

The scent isn't that bad actually...but if memory serves, it gets worse as the flowers age (which isn't but a few days) |

These blooms always blow me away. They're so unusual and just, fantastic. Love the colors on yours. Wish I had the room, I'd be ordering it right now if I did.
Happy and great growing!

How long does the flower last? And how large is it? It looks huge!
I don't think you are crazy either...I would probably do the same thing!!!

The flowers only last a few days at best and the flowers are about 5 to 6 inches across
