Oooooo. Nice. Can you describe the fragrance?

I've been wanting another ensifolium, this one might be it.

Really so sad that you lost 18 plants! This gives serious support to the advice that novice growers learn the conditions each type of orchid wants and then see if they can accommodate the needs in their home environment. Then if the answer is "yes" buy only a 2-3 plants. Saves money and grief. It can be totally discouraging to a new grower to lose as many plants as you did. Many just give up.

My advice now would be to study the conditions you have and be sure next time you either get orchids to fit those conditions or change your conditions if you can, to be able to grow the plants you want to grow.
