Winter care for Lycaste aromatica?

[smweaver]

I'm not sure if the plant would bloom if it doesn't receive a winter rest. In their natural environment, they've evolved to take advantage of seasonally cool and dry periods during the winter months. If a reduction in water and temperatures are what triggers flowering, then the lack of those triggers might prevent the plant from blooming (but please note that I have no direct evidence to support this; it's simply an opinion).

Oh, and just make sure that when you stick your nose in the blooms next spring, you remain mindful of those spines that are left on the top of the pseudobulb. They're extremely sharp and can be wickedly dangerous--and when you're enjoying the scent of the flowers it's all too easy to forget about the spines.
