At any rate, a charmer! Lots of bright flowers in a compact package... what's not to love? And the rest are wonderful too.

Well that was unexpected! This hybrid has popped up at many, many EU vendors over the past year, all with the same mysterious Janet Sparkle parent. Lc Janet does seem a bit odd as a parent, since I detect no trace of it in the flower shape or colors...

Is it scented?

I got it from the 'In Flower' section of Roelke Orchideen, it seems to come and go from the list! Could be worth keeping an eye on their site if you really want it. As to the scent, I didn't pay attention. I received the package just days before my summer holiday so I didn't have much time to note if it was fragrant.
