Seidentadenia (Aerides) mitrata
My Seidentadenia mitrata (was once considered to be an aerides) is blooming. It is quite fragrant. 
Here are a couple of pics to enjoy.  |

Looks great David!
Mine has 4 spikes, but only the first one has started to pop open it's buds...
It is one of my favorite fragrant ones!

Thanks Laura and Tracy,
tracy...it's got a light, sweet, spicy fragrance, not too heavy at all. |

Oh, I love it. I don't do well with mounted plants, but could I grow something like that hanging among my vandas, which get watered every day? I think it might stay more humid in among the vandas. Remember, I live in Michigan, and grow my vandas in my basement under HID lights.
I have 5 vandas in bloom at the present time.
I might have difficulty finding one large enough to hang there but I would like to try if you think it would do well there.

Gorgeous! I love the contrast between the dark spike and the stark blooms. Cool mount too! Very natural and wild-looking.

That's a beautiful plant. Those long pendant leaves remind me of a brassavola (maybe perrinnii). Congratulations on this one. It looks great.
