This is not a Hetaeria oblongifolia

[CoolPhrog]

So I found this at the JOS Show this year and was amazed at the scent!! However, when I got it home and opened up Wiz, I discovered it was mistagged...there's a surprise!!

So I am enlisting the help of all of my OB friends and gurus to help me figure out what the heck it is???

It was mounted on a small 3" x 3" piece of hardware cloth so the first thing I did was to place it on a more proper mount. The leaves and roots, from a distance, look the same but the leaves are more distingishable when you get closer to the plant. They look sorta like nodosa leaves, just a little more closed...any help you can give me is much appreciated!

Good job Eric, you beat me to it!
Dana, did you get this one from Louis ?
I got one from him a year and a half ago and it has bloomed several times, last blooming I got 9 spikes...this time it looks like only 3 are popping up.
