A seedling blooming for me for the first time also. Really nice. Surprisingly fragrant with wonderful scent. I'm must take better care of it this Summer. It's in a 4" pot. It should get much bigger, right? I read these like to be dry. Is that correct?

Congrats on blooming it. Its lovely.
I don't grow this but am looking after one right now for a friend who is away. It has 3 spikes and will soon be in bloom. Hers is in about a 5 inch pot and sprawled quite wide beyond the pot on many growths. Orchid Wiz says this gets quite a bit of moisture from spring to fall but must have a fast draining media and a container that is quite small for the size of plant. It needs a dry winter rest in order to harden off the canes and induce blooming. Not sure what my friend actually did to get 3 spikes on hers, but it will be a nice show!

Thanks for the info Silken. It fall into the Calista Dendrobium group and that's generally how I have been treating it. I can't wait to see pictures of your plant in bloom. I think you'll love the fragrance.

I just hope it blooms before my friend gets home and takes it away I will post it here if it blooms in my care.

Me too. I would love to see it. I'm thinking it should be more widely grown. There are some spectacular pictures out there.

Pretty and it must be tasty as well. It looks like some little critter did some snacking.
