Nobile in the heat by J Solo, on Flickr

i purchased this from LetsTalkPlants on eBay i think 3 years ago. it was delayed in shipping and was pretty cold damaged when it arrived. it was very happy to have made it to Florida as it immediately decided to put out 4 new growths and essentially replaced itself entirely over a year and a half...

last year i pull a total A$$hat move and knocked it off the end of the bench it was on, breaking the pot AND the emerging spike too

another yeah and here we are. so glad to finally meet them

This is one of my favourite orchids. I love the scent and the blooms are nice and large too.

Yours looks remarkably happy given they prefer cool conditions - in fact it looks like it is thriving - good growing.

The scent is amazing. Like cinnamon dusted on a citrus Gardena.
