Not bad for a first bloom from a seedling I bought about a year ago. Flowers are a little small but this plant has a long way to go before you would consider it a "mature plant". Very good grower and reliably puts off multiple growths per growth cycle- strong rooter too. I tried to sabotage the plant by pouring cold bleach water on it on accident (i forgot I was cleaning my watering can) which caused a bit of tissue collapse and burned the roots
How is the fragrance? My percivaliana "Summit" smells like moldy Cheerios.
haven't detected much of a scent and I have a loddigesii in bloom which is the dominant scent in the area. the descriptions of the scent are all over the place so I'm excited to experience it myself!
It smells like a "bowling alley" according to my wife. To me it smells like a doctors office or some place that had been recently cleaned with industrial chemicals.

The colours - including the colour of the tubular lip is so nice. The whole flower - very nice indeed.
Also - the web page became 'fat' (ok ..... wide-statured for political correctness) ----- because the orchidboard makes it like that if the youtube link has the 's' in https:
Without the 's' ----- ie. http: ----- orchidboard won't have the wide-statured behaviour. I personally don't mind the wide-statured effect hehehe. Just mentioning it only.
