Awesome scent! This species smells just like the spicy heart candies that people eat around Valentines Day. They taste aweful, but they smell great! Anyway, nice little deciduous Lycaste species that should probably be in every collection. Enjoy!

Wonderful color. It is also a pleasure to see such healthy-looking leaves. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Steve. I love this species!

Here is my Lycaste aromatica 'S.B.' This plant has ~ 50 flowers + a few unopened buds today on 19 leads. Last year, it had more than 50 flowers on 14 leads.

I have a different cultivar which just started a new lead a few days ago. It's on a much later schedule. I expect only the one lead on the later one. I acquired it last summer.
