Default Aliceara Samurai

I got this from a friend and it was in tough shape with scale and lots of dead growths and roots. It was badly in need of re-potting as well. After battling the scale for 6 months and then cleaning it up and re-potting, it has been doing quite nicely.

It's rewarded me with 2 spikes on the latest mature growth. The blooms are so well spaced and uniform.

Yes, very nice display. Are they fragrant? Alicearas are some fantastic Oncidium intergenerics.

It is always great when you can turn a plant around. The blooms are very pretty.
