Brassia Datacosa X Miltonia Seminole Blood in bloom
(unregistered hybrid)
Yay! Finally blooming! 
I got this as a small (3 growth) division about 5 years ago. Between myself and mother nature, this was over-watered for some extended periods the first couple of years I had it, and declined. Then it was moved to a dry, but out-of-the-way spot, where it was somewhat under-watered ... But, a couple years of better care now, and it has apparently recovered 
Blooms (5 or 6 of them) are 4.25" across; facing every which way, probably due to my staking the spike quite late in it's growth Fragrant, but nothing to get too excited about 
Thanks for looking |

Thank you all very much!
I was soooo happy when I spotted the spike on this - I had been hoping, but unsure, that it was in shape to bloom soon!
