Meiracyllium trinasutum
I had never heard of this species when I purchased it in April, but I am thrilled with the flowers!
This one blooms similar to a Soph. cernua

Very nice - I just got acquainted to this genus a few weeks ago myself. The foliage is also pretty interesting, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

That's so pretty!
What sort of care does it like?

This one is mounted and though I was told it takes fairly bright light, I ended up hanging it on the front porch and have never moved it, so it gets medium light during the day and brighter light in the late afternoon. I got it in April and it put out 3 new growths since then, 2 of them bloomed and one was just new leaves.

A happy plant with lovely blooms...Your cultivation technique must be spot on.

It actually has a spicy almost cinnamon scent.

I was hoping you would say that. I had considered getting this on once or twice in the past and always talked myself out of it.
