Default Aerides houlletiana

Here are a couple of photos of my Aerides houlletiana, which started blooming this past weekend. It has 10 racemes of blooms this year!

And to think that I almost let this plant go last year...boy am I glad I held onto it now. If it holds its blooms till next weekend, I might try and bring it to judging.

Enjoy!

Wow it, so tall! It looks amazing with all those spikes, i really hope that you can bring it in my judging. Is yours fragrant? The ones I've smelled smell so nice, like citrus.

It's beautiful, David. I understand these are not easy to grow or get to bloom. Yours is fantastic.

Camille,
It does have a wonderful sweet citrusy fragrance...

Last year it seemed kind of light, but this year, with approximately 130 blooms on it, it is much more noticable.
