Questions about dendrobium unicum - fragrance, and "it looks dead but isn't"

[mtorchid]

Definitely crayons (wax) and a gorgeous flower! One of mine looked completely dead (except the canes aren't shriveled) until I noticed the beginning of new buds a couple of days ago, the other is still thinking about it. The canes won't produce leaves or blooms again but will act like pseudobulbs, so it's an odd (exotic, in my opinion) looking plant. Go for it!
