Phal schilleriana var purpurea. Scented very heavily of roses. This was last spring's blooming. The plant won Best Phal in Show at the RBG spring show. It had about 40 flowers when all the branches finished opening flowers.
I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
Great display on this schilly. I have 1 that bloomed really pink that I think is a purpurea as well which was tagged a normal schilly. I loved the fragrance on mine. Even with just 1 flower (first time bloom) the fragrance was so strong.

Ross this is a fairly large plant. The leaves are beautifully mottled...I'll take a picture sometime when i remember. The spike on that bloomingwas about 4' long. It put up a small spike after that one faded...it was only about 1 1/2' and only had 8 flowers. I guess it put all its energy into the first effort. I'm hoping for it to do its thing again shortly.
