We've been so excited for this to start blooming! 7 flowers on a spike seems like a lot!

Pretty. Does it have any fragrance?

Definitely! It's got a really nice fresh fragrance to it, seems to be a lot stronger in the morning.

This is so beautiful! I had one and lost my whole collection due to illness but I just received another one & it also has seven buds. Great growing!

Really great colors, me likes!

I have to ask, what is the plant with the purple leaves next door to it?

My girlfriend works at a garden center, which is probably the best in the region with amazing plants in general, but they don't take good care of their orchids. She refers to the orchid section as the "orchid graveyard". The purple leaves are a cattelya (we think) that has been pretty neglected that we rescued at a bargain price. Really hoping we can make it real happy and give us some gorgeous blooms!
