monster Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'
Here is a pic of the plant that I previously posted about! It is in a 10 inch bulb pan growing in fine fir bark. This chid is gonna eat the house very soon! I has one spike in bloom right now but I know tons more are on the way as soon as the newer growths mature. It produces double spikes consistently from each new growth so it will be loaded in the next few months.

Mine has a long spike that should bloom sometime (when Sharry gets good-and-ready  ) Can't wait to repot to a large blub pot like yours. I have about 3 plants (not Sharry) that really need this.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Yes, it is so fragrant that it is almost sickening! But in a good way. I frequently put it in an enclosed area just to give us a little bit of a break!

Way to go Scott, still waiting for my 40+ blooms to burst, they just love to show off and seems to take forever for them to bloom (that watched pot never boils). You most definitely have found what pleases the baby...

Have had this chid for 7 years +. It has never been divided, just moved up in pot size when the leading growths have approached the edge of the pot. This plant breaks new growths from at least 8 or more points both in the center and around the edges. It spends spring through fall outdoors in very bright light and gets the bejezzus watered out of it and weekly fertilzer. Other than that, it is just a very easy plant to grow for me. Usually blooms lightly in the summer and then really puts on a show in late winter. I would recomend any of the sharry baby complex for growing to specimen size.
