I was not that interested in lycaste until I saw some in person earlier this year. I liked the large yellow and pink ones. Well, those were the only ones. haha

Now, how long do they last in bloom? and are they fragrant? I think that's what I read about them, not sure.

Is yours scented, Carrie?

Neil, I know my Lyc. aromatica is scented - like strong cinnamon - but I don't think the Shoalhaven is. At least I haven't noticed it. My Shoalhaven is still in bloom so they last a while. But I don't know of any that bloom multiple times a year; so it is a long wait between bloomings!

Thanks!

What a name, aromatica!
