Mini from Madagascar, grown I/W in bright shade. The second bloom is much smaller than the first, not sure why. Pollinated by a nocturnal moth, and just two tiny blooms fill my entire apartment with their scent after dark. Thanks for looking! -Stephen

Gorgeous and those blooms are still quite large compared to the size of the plant! Nice that such a small plant can have such a strong smell. I'm getting one of these in my next orchid order, probably in april.

It is pretty.
I purchased a plant several days ago. The plant is now about 3" tall. Is it a near-blooming plant? Hope it grow well here in my garden.

Mine bloomed when it was smaller than that. So, yes, I think that's blooming size! Good luck!

Beautiful I'm just looking into getting one as a travelling companion for this year's project plant. So it's great to hear and see all these positive things about it
