Hello everyone! hope you are all doing well and staying warm! and for those in the blizzard area im sure you are over the snow just as much as i am lol

I got this plant last year from Big leaf orchids. this plant is fantastic! it has 2 spikes and one beginning to branch. the peculiar thing about this plant is that every other node is blind or the bud will blast without fail then the next node blooms without a hitch. that said the flower is highly fragrant kinda like froot loops. here are some shots
