I love the little flowers of this orchid! Mine bloomed this spring, a single bloom, but I took many pictures because I found it so adorable. If only pictures could capture that fragrance....
Congratulations!

Gorgeous, great growing. Actually smelt one of these at the weekend and they really do smell like coconut don't they.

I love this little guy too!
I am determined to get mine to flower in s/h...but it's been almost two years now 
I will say that over the last three months though it seems to have "taken" to it.
We shall see.
Gratz on your blooms and enjoy that awesome fragrance! |

Thank you all of you !
This orchid needs a lot of sun to bloom,more than some Cattleyas or even Vandas,little water at the winter time and lot of water from the beging of the new seasons growth.
I had it now for 2 years the first one without any flowers,this season I had,until now 4 flowers,that's says something...

Nice bloom!! I've also had a chance to smell one and was surprised by how much it does smel like coconut. I'm still waiting for blooms on mine, good to know that they need a lot of light! I'll move mine into higher light and hopefully I'll get some blooms.
