This is a medium sized plant, about 8-10" tall.
The fragrance smells like that of jasmine.

Very nice Pheli. Sounds like it has lots of great charateristics - smaller size, great fragrance and lovely flowers too!

Your plant is shorter than my Cym. ensifolium v. Tie Gu Su Xin (铁骨素心) definitely a good thing for you. My plant is bigger than I expected.
I think mine will give similarly coloured blooms, but it hasn't bloomed for me yet. I am getting brown leaf tip on its beautiful grassy marginally variegated foliage. I'm assuming it is from low humidity since the nursery it came from was most likely more humid, or maybe I need to water more.

This is a lovely orchid, the color isn't splashy but its' different and beautiful.
Yes me too Fren, It's bigger then I thought also. It's worth the space for the scent alone and it's an easy grower
