Sue,
I managed to get my hands on 4 of these little guys. Three of them died on me. Disease, dried out, and mealy bug. The 4th one is not out of the woods, but it is alive and kieking out, with two kiekies. But no roots. Frustrating.
This is the first Orchid species I owned that flowered for me. It was a real learning experience and that particular specimen was very fragrant, sweet lemons. The other three did not have a scent. oh well. Thanks for sharing this one. It has made me nostalgic to when I was first starting.

 Not in one shot but the day is coming
My husband swears I'm trying to catch up to Laura...but that'll never happen because she adds to her collection just as quickly as I add to mine!  |

Tindo, based on your previous recommendations I purchased several and all except one have done supremo for me. No fragrance, but what the heck! I have one one mount that was my second plant purchased that has three blossoms right now and a new spike maturing. I have a second mount with three plants all sending out new roots and growths (hopefully new spikes soon?) So don't give up. Keep trying.  |
