Thanks for the comments, everyone!
Good to know about summer temp and humidity tolerance, Steve, especially as I'm about to move to a much hotter and more humid area... I've kept mine cool to cold in the winter but not necessarily dry. This winter it kept sending out new little flushes of roots so I'd water every few days when it did that. It's mounted with minimal moss and always in areas with good air movement so it dries out fast, though.
Intoxicating is a great description of the fragrance, James, I've been visiting it multiple times a day recently just to stand around and smell it for a while. I first sought this plant years ago because Roman Kaiser calls it one of his favorite orchid fragrances in The Scent of Orchids, and I have not been disappointed.
