Well the buds are swelling and starting to pop open along the seams now James, so looks like we will both get what we want soon!

Thanks for the info catwalker808, I was hoping you would add a comment. Do you grow many C. dowiana?

I grow in a dedicated grow room in the basement with HID lighting, not quite sun but really good bright sun-like light.

Was just working around this plant and noticed that the slightly opened buds are already producing fragrance. Have not noticed that before with other catts.

O.K. Now you're making me jealous with the fragrance thing. I try very hard to only grow fragrant orchids! BettyE

Sorry BettyE, I was just close to the buds and I thought what is that (great) smell? Very much surprised me - fragrance from a flower bud just opening. The lip tip was just sticking out. I always thought that fragrance came later upon opening and maturing of the flower.

I am going to go check on it before the lights go out.

Seems my NIC is toast, but I am online with a laptop now.

Here it is. I am really liking it and the fragrance fills the air in my grow room, it seems 24/7.
