the plants been happy this year and has given up 5 spikes on the plant. 1 is about to come forth. Should be in bloom for some time as they are all in different stages of growth. My hope is the cold doesnt disrupt the process.

What an awesome species!

pretty easy to grow too IMO. We need to see more of them :)

The plant can be nice looking when well grown and the flower displayed can be just as wonderful. I love orchids that make everyone happy!~!

Face
 

It appears to me as a face with two little closed eyes,a small nose and a little yellow bow tie.:biggrin:
:rofl:

an angel is born with every flower that blooms.

It does have a scent. Kind of difficult to describe but It's a soft buttery lavender, very light and not overwhelming at all. Disappears real fast when you smell it so you go back for more kind of scent. I like it very much.

:bowing

Rj, i think all your orchids love you.

heh you never see the ones that go into the trash my friend!!!


reminder. you have to kill 1000 orchids before you become a grower :)

:rofl: At a minimum... I think the number is much higher...

Boy I must be busy working on that number
