Another Odom's orchids purchase. It was delayed in the mail, so I am pleased the buds still opened. It had a very mild citrus fragrance at night. I expected a stronger scent, but it is still a keeper.

This is a very compact plant the growths are 6 to 8 inches.

Really nice, I love it. How long has it been open. Maybe if it just opened it will get a stronger fragrance.

The buds were open before it arrived at my apartment. They were restrained by cotton balls. Thankfully they still managed to flatten out fairly well. Oddly enough the scent was strongest when I first unpacked the plant. The flowers were rather short lived.

I supsect that this plant was stressed due to the shipping delay. Oh well maybe I will have better luck next growth...
