1st time flowering, young plant. fragrance has just started to come in, happy with the shape but not the colour (should've been red dammit!) but otherwise pretty.

Awesome! I have a mature one and have been waiting for it to bloom but it hasn't done anything...
How do you grow yours?

It currently hangs under the eaves of my patio facing east. It gets direct morning sun until about 9-10 am. After that it's very bright but indirect light. The pot is a small sized plastic vanda style pot with only a couple of pieces of Styrofoam and bark which really only acted as an anchor until the roots established. . It's in a good air flow area as well.

Lovely!

Very pretty flower. Well worth having.

Thanks all, the colour I was expecting was red/rose red with darker red tips.

From what I've seen, thats a rare depth of color for this type of crossing.

Really pretty!

Thank you for the info. I will keep my fingers crossed.
