Great pictures.

Naoki, The fragrance is delightful...I find there to be a distinct difference in the intensity of the scent at different times of the day. It is strongest in the morning and the early evening, and weakest in the mid afternoon hours.

Hey Joe...I'm sorry to hear about the mishap. I'm sure that Ben can come up with another for you should the need arise.

Hi Roy,
This time the infloresence has 10 blooms, with the average for this species being between 5 and 8. When this guy bloomed before, it always produced 2 spikes, with 7 to 8 blooms apiece. Perhaps it is making up for only one spike this time. The plant is fairly large, by the way. It measures (without roots) about 2-2 1/2 feet tall, with one main fan and 4 basal keikies.

Great plant David and yes the more flowers because of the one spike is probable. shame I'm not next door or one of those keikeis would have my name on it. Has it been awarded??

Hi Roy...it has not been awarded...yet.

I'm waiting for the timing to be right for optimal bloom quality...this time around they are already a little blemished, and the judging date isn't till next weekend.

I have been told that it could poassibly get a high AM, but who knows for sure until it's actually looked at by the judging team.

Very nice, congratulation !

what is very pleasing with this denisoniana is that there is very little windowing! Nice flowers!
