Awesome, Dana! I think you can be thankful the frogs are taking the scent away from you.  But what's this??  Did you end up with an alba??  |

It looks really cool! It's hard to tell, but do I see a bit of color in the lip? Thinking about it, is it possible that because it's an alba it does't have the fragrance?

Yvan, yes, there's a small amount of color in the lip and "hood" very faint but it is there

Look great Dana, usually when a "fragrant" orchid blooms in a tank, the odor is concentrated so it makes it easier to smell when you open the terrarium.

Wow, Dana, awesome bloom! You mean this is the second time since you got it? Are they suppose to bloom frequently? Wouldn't that be awesome!  |

Excellent photo Dana...I love the color variation in yours compared to others. It's a wowie! |

Thank you everyone! Yeah, it's bloomed twice since it's been home....I'm pretty happy with the color variation though having be orange would've been really cool

I really like the alba version, maybe even more than the orange one. Well now you have an excuse to get the standard one!
