Well I can not comment on the smell, the blooms are beautiful but this will probably not go on my wish list if it needs warm conditions and is harder to grow.

At least at this time, just tryin to keep things alive and to bloom. But I can't wait to see the rest of your blooming. I did look at this on one sight so I am glad to know to stay away for the time being.

How do you like the scent of the blooms? Although the flowers are undeniably pretty, I've never been a fan of the fragrance (many others, however, have stated that they enjoy the scent, so maybe I'm in the minority). Congratulations on your beautiful plant and blooms.

Thank you, Steve. I am a fan of roots, also, and love the way they have wrapped around this mount. I do happen to enjoy the fragrance and always bring the plant indoors when in bloom to enjoy the perfume. :)
