Sc. Crystelle Smith..3rd blooming this year!
This is the thrid time this year that my Sc. Crystelle Smith 'Aileen' has bloomed. What a great mini. The flowers are 2.5" across yet the plant is only in a 3" pot. Excellent plant for limited space.

Congratulations, Todd! I am impressed! Three times in 8 months is outstanding. Any secrets/recommendations?
I always loved this flower. It reminds me a Laelia longipes with muscles!! Very beautiful!

It has multiple growths at different stages so as each growth matures, up pops a flower! Never more than 2 at a time for me, but they last 5-6 weeks so that's fine by me!

Ooh I agree with ya Todd, Great little mini, wonderful bloomer. Beautiful photos!!
Mine has bloomed 3 times since late Jan. New growth has just started again, I wonder if it will bloom again in late fall.
D, I had noticed a very faint scent, but not really enough to make it out. Funny though not all the blooms carry scent.
