Wow that is a beauty! Mine is in bloom now as well, but the first bud seems to be taking forever to open fully....I am starting to wonder if it will! I am growing mine in s/h culture....I didn't know it would do well mounted too!

I wish I could take credit for this beauty! I'll ask Tom, the grower, to share his cultural tips with orchidboard
[quote=caseydoll;52123]Just curious, how would you describe the smell? All my fragrant orchids are somewhat recent purchases and have yet to bloom. I've never smelled one fragrant orchid myself and I can't wait!

Mine is the nice pastel type: Starts off with a white background but turns a very pale yellow with age while still keeping the pink markings. Each bloom measures 3 inches accross.The smell to me smells like Lucky Charms cereal in the morning, adding some orange to the mix by afternoon. Love it!!!!!!
