Miltonidium Issaku Nagata 'Hawaii'

Just bought this monster today at the local orchid show. Should be ridiculously nice once it blooms - the ones there that were blooming smelled like really sweet perfume. It's like a little christmas tree! Water bottle next to it for comparison. Can see full size if you click on picture once in gallery. Looks like they didn't give it enough light - leaves are kind of dark.

Fantastic! I didn't know there were different varieties. Here's my 'Volcano Queen' (Same hybrid)

This one is almost fully opened now... I love how it looks like a bunch of little dancers with skirts on all lined up. Quite a show, and very profuse sweet perfume smell.
