Nice bloom!

However I'm concerned about the marks on the leaves, it somehow looks like spider mite attack to me, I had a fastuosa and its leaves are not supposed to have such marks even though they are 'shimmery' in a sense.

I was at first also. I checked into it and fastuosa can be either way, leathery gray green, or shiny bright green. I have one of each. It's hard for me to imagine spider mites in 99% humidity.

Woah 99% humidity?! That would be hell for spider mites! Those markings sure are mysterious...

I'm a deep south greenhouse grower. I do love these little guys but no room for a tank at the present time. I have only one, Aerangis Citerata? that is grown in the gh but perhaps it doesn't require the TLC that you appear to give yours. One of these days I will take a leap of faith and invest in one. Great job Ross, I like seeing your pics.

Does it have a fragrance at all that you can detect yet or is it going to be fragrant only at night when the moths are out?

I bought the fastuosa very recently and love it. I also brought home an articulata and a didierii (I took the tags off for watering and now I can't tell which tag goes to which, *sigh*, might need your help with that later. lol And also a biloba that I call my little Ginko.

These are just great orchids. . .and a must have for anyone crazy about mini orchids.
Perhaps this is old news, but didieri is easy to distinguish by its roots. They are typically fatter, and have a white-crusty appearance that always gives them away.

Good point, and also the leaf appearance is much different. I will post a picture of mine later here in this thread.
