Actually, I got it last march from Hausermann. It was in a 4" pot, which looked like it was about to explode, so I planted it in a 6" pot. Thanks to both of you!

Could you give some information on how you grow it?

Under 2 48" 2-bulb shoplights. It likes about the same amount of light as Phalaenopsis. The pot is a 6" clay standard, filled 1/3 of the way with medium bark, the rest of the way with sphagnum.
It is watered when nearly but not quite dry, and fertilized weakly (1/2-1/4 strength), weekly with all-purpose fertilizer.
Temperature about 70 at night, 80 by day (actually, I don't keep much track of temperature if the plant is happy). I find it not too difficult as long as the air isn't too hot and dry, which can cause the buds to blast just before they open, as I found out the hard way.

Interesting plant. Like it.

After being fully open for awhile, it is finally giving off a sweet fragrance.

It finally finished blooming. So it has been in bloom for nearly one half of a year! And I discovered over half a dozen white roots with green tips growing through the drain holes, always a good sign!
:banana:

Nice. Does this have more than 1 bloom per pseudobulb ? As in successively and on same side?

Yes-if you want to call them pseudobulbs. in this genus, the pseudobulbs are maybe 1/5 to 1/4 inch in diameter, completely hidden by the leaf bases. But several leaves come up on each side to form a fan, and more than one bud may emerge from the base of each leaf.

Thanks. I thought so after looking at all your photos and just wanted to confirm.
My amazonica hybrid bloomed 1x and then a new growth appeared.
