Sue... gorgeous!! Dontcha just love this little guy?? The color is totally unreal. The little tails of yours are really neat! They flare out much more than mine did. Did you give it a sniff? Even just a little sniff??

And Lucky... definitely a spike! Nice growing!!

I don't think that's blasted. Give it some time
The buds on mine started out the size of pin heads and grew a tiny bit each day, then at their longest they were about 3 inches! Amazing little chid

Yes, I was adventurous and gave it a little whiff.
Didn't smell anything...and never got that close again

Thanks kiki
I really had low expectations for this guy. In all the time we've had them, it has only grown one new growth...then BAM!

Hey, Sue I think that makes you the winner! I don't think anyone has successfully rebloomed this one yet.

[whygreenberg]

Ya know, I was thinking the same thing, Terri!

HIP HIP HOORAY for SUE!!

And to think, it's a little stinker to boot!

[cb977]

Really? No, I think others bloomed theirs already.

I'll look through the thread

So excited! I've rebloomed my Cirrhopetalum tingabarinum. Interestingly, this time the "fragrance" is a bit stronger than I remember it being last time. Don't have to stick my nose nearly as close to get a whiff of it's fishy scent. But I really love this 'chid. My favorite color.

Way to go, Yvan!
It is such a little cutie pie...even if it is a stinker
