This is a first bloom for this little guy. The lip is a nice yellow and the petals are a light pink, though I had some trouble in capturing these colors because for some reason my camera washes out the colors when there is even moderate light coming in. Anyway, the scent is mild and not particularly pleasant, but not awful either. Enjoy!

I've never found mine to have a noticeable scent. I thought it was scentless to be honest, and much like you, I can never do justice to the color, but I think you did a better job then I ever have. Mine flowered about a month ago, and is actively putting out new growth now, but looked dead according to a few of my customers that saw it in between.

Next time it blooms, try and smell it at midday after the sun has been shining on it for a few hours. That's when it smells the most.....which is not much!

Very pretty, and such a delicate color. The little fringe adds to it's beauty.
