Phalaenopsis venosa
This has been a long wait. the spikes developed last year and then sat and did nothing. They then started producing buds a few months ago.
The blooms are scented, not unpleasant, they smell like smoked meat (actually like smoky bacon crisps, but only people in the UK would get that!).

That's such a pretty color. I have an equestris x venosa hybrid, so I just went and checked for bacon, but no love. Now I want venosa!

They look like smoked meat. Interesting that the colours and scents often match.
