Swamper, I measured the flower a day or 2 after taking the first pic and the flower was 180mm across the lower sepals and the spur was 320mm long. It has grown a little since then I believe. The fragrance is very much like a frangipani & intense at night.

Thanks to all for your comments, I really like this orchid, particularly since I flower one.

Thank you Roy. I think I could make room for something like this. I have to check and see if it would grow around here and its availability.
I think zone 10B qualifies right? http://www.orchidspecies.com/angsesesquipe.htm
Looks available at http://oakhillgardens.com/htm/orchid....php?prod=2756

Well done! I'm with Ron - way too big for me, but it's a beautiful species.
