Potinara Burana Beauty
Festive colors and it reminds me of the flag of Spain…
This is fragrant like lily of the valley with a hint of lemon. The flowers are on its 3rd week. It should be noted that this plant can develop flowers with or without typical flower sheaths that form at the base of the leaves where they meet the pseudo bulbs.
This is staying in a heavy thick glass vase drilled with holes lava rocks, large barks, hydroton and charcoal.

I had gone off this one but seeing yours has rekindled my desire to get one.

How long did the flowers last? Hausermanns has these on sale and I really want to get a fragrant orchid.

Dude, Hausermanns are selling seedlings that might bloom in 2 yrs time for a 3 inch pot for $7.50...Santa Barbara Orchids have 12 inches tall blooming size plants for $25...and I am guessing its specimen sized with 7 to 10 bulbs in a pot...I would rather buy well established blooming sized or have already bloomed specimens because I am scared to kill seedlings...so far I have never killed well established plants; whereas: I recently decimated a full batch of vandas from flask I got last Fall...all of a sudden they just dropped down leaves one by one and I was so helpless I didnt know what to do...
