Den spectabile bloom
 

has finally opened, and boy does my grow area smell soooo sweet :biggrin:. The plant has about 6 spikes, 4 in bloom and the other 2 are holding back.

Very nice! How's the fragrance?

I just bought one of these a month or 2 ago. Mine has a lot of growing to do, I hope one day it looks as good as yours.

Very nice colors on your blooms!

Awesome! I have a seedling, tallest growth maybe 8" with 3 leaves. It's got a few years to go. I hope it turns out as nice as yours!

Thank you OW. The fragrance is like a sweet perfume (very pleasant, cannot get enough of the scent). I have had this plant since late 90s early 2000. Almost killed it, but somehow it bounced back. I have it planted in medium bark mixed with charcoal and perlite; I let it dry before I water (rain water); fertilize when I remember.

Thank you AvantGardner.

Ohhhh! Amazing flower! This is on my list of 'must haves'. Great job with such a beautiful plant!

Thank you Howze. This plant is so worth adding to the collection. If you decide to get a Den. spectabile, its flowers will reward you with wonderful scent.

Fabulous!

Thank you Sonya.

Fantastic, love this one.
