There are 5 flowers on the spike. The flowers emit nice fragrance in early morning.

Mauro, it is not an easy plant to cultivate. Especially when repotting, soft rot usually occurs.

Great blooms on that one! How large is the plant, I hear that they don't grow all that tall as the typical C. leopoldii?

I think an ideal medium for this species is a lithophytic mix (more rocks than other things). This reduces chance of rotting and gives more aeration to the roots. I also rarely water this species, along with C. bicolor and its relatives... perhaps this helps reduce cultural problems?
