Den. Silver King
Long time, no post! A few things are starting to spike/bloom and this is a first time bloomer for me in my little windowsill. No scent as of yet (disappointed!) but I love the flowers. We'll see how long these flowers last!
It gets standard latouria care, lots of light, lots of heat and lots of water. Fertilizer is light and frequent. Media is charcoal+bark+perlite in a 4'' plastic pot that I drilled a bunch of holes in for even drying.

Another one of those great New Guinea Dendrobium Hybrids. Kept in the right conditions these flowers tend to last for several months. Well done with the flowering.

I bought a Silver King at an orchid society meeting back in December, and it's still blooming. It hasn't put out any sort of scent for me, though. Even so, they're gorgeous blooms.
