So I'm not an AOS member, but would it be worth it to try to get an AOS award for this guy? Do they award species?
They do award species. Look up the AOS award registry and see what Lycaste aromaticas have been awarded in the past. Decide if your plant is at least as good as those awarded plants. I don't know whether AOS membership is required. I find it well worth the money.
