a few more open. these are fragrant also. not as strong as the radiata but the same scent.

Very jealous!

I've wanted one of these but I think I'm at my capacity for plants until I can automate some things and I'm not planning and playing for a wedding.

EDIT: Why does it smell like, if it has a scent?

[RJSquirrel]

smells like honey very sweet. not very strong but its there.

Nice! I want one of these!

JL orchids has a few and hmmm Orchid Designs has some also. They start about 50 bucks.

Act now avoid future disappointment and regret !!!

I hope all these buds open up. You might have time to catch up ya know...

I bought mine from the place that must not be mentioned because I couldn't find it elsewhere. It was in a 2"/5cm pot.

I didn't realize how much water it needed. For over a year I let it dry between waterings. It sat there and didn't grow, but it didn't die, either. Once I moved it to a larger container with the S/H method it took off. I hope it flowers this summer.

I likewise struggled with Prosthechea/Anacheilium cochleata/um, fragrans, radiata/um.

I gradually figured out these Anacheilium/Prosthechea need to be quite wet to grow at all.

Hmmmm.... such enablers. I've been eyeing a Lycaste hybrid that only the Vendor Who Must Not Be Named had... so i got that and the Guarechea. Hoping that I'm one of their success stories.

I think the bulbs on the these have to stay fat and plump to bloom. If they get wrinkly at all you won't get any flowers, or they be crunched and don't survive the push thru the sheath.

heh yeh I see the unamed one has his own version he introduced. poor guy cant even get a back handed mention . Im going to name my next kitty cat in his honor.

It’s a perfectly reasonable name under any other contexts.
