this dude is definitely NOT a space saver! When I set the pot on the ground, his top leaf hits me at hip level. Got him at an orchid show this year with a tiny little spike started, and he just kept growing and growing and growing...  |

That's just lovely! They do take up space though; can you leave it outside for the winter?

Sort of.. For the most part I can leave it outside but I do have a little pop-up greenhouse that I put everyone in during our 2 cold months. I might have to get a second one this winter, though!
The fragrance is wonderful
It has a soft orange blossom scent, it is light but the scent sort of floats around the whole plant so it is very nice
