Well, after killing two of these in less than a year (bad vendor was partially the problem) I'm giving it another go with this one. I got it 2 months ago, the spike was hardly visible back then. So far so good, I've managed to keep it alive!
I absolutely love this orchid. The color is wonderful and the fragrance is unbelievable. It develops about 5 days after the bud opens, and in early afternoon the smell absolutely fills the entire room! It smells spicy and citrusy, with a bit of soap mixed in!
I struggled to get good pictures of it. My camera has trouble with the intense red.
