bc. maikai an oldie but still fantastic
it may be an old hybrid, that been around for a good while, but from being bit by the orchid bug some 8 years ago, i really enjoyed this one, and still do... Nr.1 on my top 10 favorite orchid list.. just one of those no frill no fuss easy plants to grow, and once established, grows like nobody's business...

Very pretty. I have this also. Easy care in my conditions and easy on the eye.

Have not picked up a fragrance yet, but should think there be a hint of something there . Will have to go sniff around.

LOL. Easy to grow yes, easy to bloom no. At least not for me nor a couple other folks I know. Had one for years and finally gave it away as I could not get the foolish thing to bloom. Later tried a cross made with Maikai -- same story as the first. Won't ever waste the space on one again. Instead I will just enjoy the fruits of the labors of such folks as yourselves. |

I had one of those once, it was HUGE!! I loved it, then it got scale. I lost the whole thing! Anyway I digress, it probably has a very nice scent in the evening because of the Brassia influence, I am usually up very early in the AM and it was still fragrant then.I HAVE to get another one of those....Jean

yeah mines grows easy too. it more than doubles in size each year but wont bloom ...gone from a 4in clay pot to a 1 gallon bucket in 3 years. I read they wont bloom if they are too crowded then I read they wont bloom if they arent enough light. I read more why they wont bloom than why they do bloom 
nice flowers when they do mysteriously bloom
