Beautiful blooms, Roy. I especially like the aerides. Is its fragrance anything like odorata's?

That's great, Roy. I'm not sure where, but I think that I read that this species was closely related to odorata (more then, say, lawrenceae, multiflorum or any of the other members of the genus), which is why I thought they might share similar scents. The flowers on your plant are very vibrantly colored. Must be a real eyecatcher when seen firsthand.

Very lovely, good growing. I have a fondness for all things vandaceous.

Those are very nice flowers, Roy. I did not realize that there are more flower buds on the Aer. quinquevulnera v. Purpureum.
