Alcra. Pacific Nova 'Okika' Female
Default Alcra. Pacific Nova 'Okika'

I got this last September. It's a first bloom for me and I believe a first bloom for the plant as well because I don't see any signs of old spikes. Absolutely delighted with it! I got 6 flowers and think they're just adorable. The lip looks like a blushing teddy bear to me and most of the flowers have what looks like upside down hearts on their petals. Definitely a keeper even though it's one of my worst space hogs.

I noticed that it's "fragrant". Luckily the scent is mild and you have to stick your nose right up to it because I wouldn't exactly call it a pleasant smell. Smells almost like black peppercorns
