Default Trichoglottis brachiata

It's official, I'm in love with this plant! Amazing color that our camera cannot do justice....the plant is about 18 inches long and the roots hang at about 24 inches - it is scented but there's no way to explain it - it isn't stinky but it isn't sweet either....enjoy!

That's wicked cool! Too big for my space though.

What a beauty! I just picked one of these up this weekend. Similar size, and loaded with blooms! Just gorgeous. I think the scent reminds me of Jasmine, but yet it is not exactly like Jasmine either. Somewhat sweet, but more flowery scent IMO.

Either way, great growing and I agree the camera does not do the color justice. I also love how the column is sort of fuzzy with a pinkish tint under the white. So pretty! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Cool!! Color is really amazing! I guess mine still has to grow a little bit more before I see it in flower (it is 9" or so).

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. As I would love to take credit for these blooms, and I apologize for omitting it in the original post, I did not bloom this beauty, Tom did @ Green Earth Nursery...It just opened for me . Though I'm hoping that I can take enough care with her so the little nubbin buds will continue to grow. Wish me
