Default Bifrenaria harrisoniae in bloom

I think that I've finally learned--after much trial and even more error--how to get this species to bloom. In contrast to the one spike and one flower it produced last winter, this year it's produced five spikes and seven flowers. Please pardon my amateur photography skills. These pictures don't do a great deal of justice to the flowers--and they do absolutely nothing to convey the beautiful strong scent they produce either. The lip, for me, is the most intriguing part of the flower.
