There's another bloom on the plant yet, still going strong!
I have to add that I went and smelled it at around sunset last night, and it definitely inherited the fragrance from digbyana as well. Much much stronger than when I'd smelled it during the middle of the day, and with that same citrusy tang (still not as strong as digbyana though, hmm should go try it now that it's dark).

"Hair Pig" is kinda a mean name for such a pretty bloom.

That name is a mean joke... but it IS hairy.
Here's the newest bud. An easy growing rewarding plant for those who don't mind sprawling ungainly big Catts. And it has the digbyana fragrance! Starting in the afternoon too, you don't have to wait until after dark.

I'm in love with your flower! The pic of the latest to open is delightful, and digbyana's fragrance is a wonderful one.
Whether you call it a Brassavola or a Rhyncholaelia, digbyana is truly one of my favorite orchids. Though I'm a Phal grower, I will always keep (at least) one in my collection; mine grows well enough but with a bit more light might be happier. When I was a boy my family visited Biltmore, and I first encountered orchids; digbyana or a hybrid thereof truly caught my attention.
