E. Gail Nakagaki
This is a Happy Birthday/Where the hell is the sun? gift to myself 
The fragrance is absolutely amazing! It kept calling my name throughout the greenhouse at Louis Del Favero's this morning 
It is now in the orchid room and I can smell it clear across the lanai!
It's a rather large plant and the spike is about 3 ft long  |

The color is more brilliant on this clone than I have ever seen, and perfume too? It is wonderful that you have the room for such stunning flowers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Maria

Very nice! I don't think I could pass this one up. Let me know if you accidentally knock the pollinia off one of those beauties. |

Hi Susanne,
WOW! 
This E. Gail Nakagaki blows mine away!!!! It is very striking in both color and form compared to others I've seen...including my own. You've got yourself a good one there! 
I've got pods growing on two of the spikes from this year's blooming...if they grow to maturity and germinate, I'll be sure to share.  |

I just walked out to the room to say good morning to the chids and had to just stand there and smile...and inhale...for an extra minute or so
The fragrance is incredible! |
