I like the fragrance of these blooms. It smells like a kind of flower tea.

Hey Pheli, very nice. I have one that hasn't bloomed for a while, I think it is because winter temps aren't cool enough. How cool do you let it grow in the winter? Down to 10 c?

The temperature in the winter here is averagely 13-15 c, but while the cool front arrives, it lowers to 6-8 c for several days. I gow it like nobile type dendrobiums and keep the medium drier in cold days.

That is good to know, I have definitely been growing mine too warm. This winter I will leave it outside. Do you leave it completely dry like nobile or you give it some water as well?
