There once was a very mature Onc. Sharry Baby cousin (not sure if it was an actual Sharry Baby, or a plant of similar breeding) for sale at my OS last September, and my was it HUGE! The plant was about a foot and a half square, and the spike was about five feet tall with multiple branching. All together, with the branches, the infloresence was probably a four foot tall cone with a base two feet wide in circumference! I was just flabergasted by this gigantic plant, and to top it off, this was at my very first OS meeting, so up until then, I had only seen a handful of orchids in real life.

I can't even imagine the fragrance of something that size! Just a small Sharry Baby puts out quite a bit of scent!

How Sweet it is.... Sharry is opening some flowers and though tiny, the scent is Wonderful! Subtle vanilla chocolate, which probably will get stronger the more flowers open
