Purchased as blooming sized but when it arrived 9/10/14 it had a nice little spike starting. These past two weeks have been excruciating waiting for it to finally start opening and I can't tell you how many times I've checked on it the last 4 days...couldn't be more pleased with how pretty the bloom is finally <3

Very nice!

Pretty.

Thanks! The bottom petal (lip?) is practically identical to that of my noid Brassia which I think is pretty cool :)

Today:

Only one bud left to open! I feel like such a proud momma lol :)

Congratulations! Love it, does it smell good?

Thanks! :)
I haven't noticed any scent at all, my sniffer isn't very sensitive though :-/
Is it supposed to have a fragrance? I'll def be checking for one now :)

Very nice!

It could! Give it a few days to develop its aroma...but within a week of opening there could be a sweet fragrance...here's hopin' :)

I will keep checking :) I know my Brassia Rex 'waiomao spotless' was in bloom for at least 2 weeks before I caught it's scent for the first time, it was so faint at first that I thought I was imagining things but daily it got stronger. I Hope I can get it to rebloom, what a heavenly scent it had...
