Thank you for the kind words.
The NoID colmanara is also a favorite of mine. I've had it 3 years now and it is a very reliable bloomer.
jk- The Harella is also new to me. I didn't know if I could keep one alive because I know most people keep them in a terrarium or other controlled environment, but mine seems to do ok under the T-5s in my grow space with all my others.
It would be nice if the spike grew upward to make the bloom more prominent. The spikes are all kind of laying on the moss. I was hoping they would grow up toward the lights.

In fact, your Colmanara is a showy specimen.
But I love them all. |

All very pretty! My Nelly Isler is in bloom, too! I love the fragrance and how often it blooms. It is one of my favorite orchids.

Mine is fully out now and absolutely beautiful. I have wanted one for years and am so happy with this one. I have not noticed any fragrance unless it does it sometime when I am not out there. I take it from your post that it may bloom more than once a year ? |

These tend to be fragrant in the morning. You should definitely have blooms more than once a year. They bloom whenever a new pseudobulb is mature and they grow very well when they are happy.
