Where are those pictures? We want to see them.
Three spikes! And I was absolutely excited about one spike. |

Sorry kind of forgot ...
here are the pics I took that day, you can only see 2 spikes as other one was covered by leaves & had not opened yet. The second spike (2nd photo) blooms had just opened therefore smaller - they are now the same size as the first spike and the third spike. One spike has 6 flowers, the next 5 and the last 4 flowers.
My plant is not particularly scented unless you stick your nose right up to the blooms and has always been the same. Otherwise the plant has become huge

It sure is huge. How long have you had it? I have mine for 9 months now. I'd love it to grow as huge as yours. How many new growths have got got and how many spikes per growth? Congrats, you've got such a marvelous plant.

Wow, you must get lots of new growths! Mine is a different cultivar, but so far does not grow particularly fast.

Last update on my louisendorff. The buds are clearly visible now. I hope I get more than the two buds I distinguish.
 
There's only one spike for the time being, but I'm happy with that. Its the first time it reblooms with me.

It looks great. I too actually have a spike just showing out of the leaves on mine. First time bloom for me since I got it this time last year not in bloom.

This is how it looks right now. Definitely two buds. I don't know if it will grow some more on the same spike. Time will tell.

Can't wait to see your flowers. I have been gone for a week and when I came back yesterday, my spike had grown about 3 inches and there is now another one on the other side of the pseudobulb! I can't tell how many buds yet. I have never seen mine in bloom or a picture of it anywhere, so I am quite excited about it!
