One I don't see in the forums all that often.
Two pics, 1st of the spike & 2nd, the spike compared to my little finger.

I have never even heard of the genus, but that is so beautiful! The flowers look so delicate... Imagine trying to make a hybrid with that :P!

Roy...it's beautiful! While I usually go for the larger flowered species and hybrids, sometimes I have a heart for the minis too...and this has just become one of them!

Does it have any fragrance?

Thanks for the post!

It's an Angraecoid. Related to Angraecums.

They're nice.

Is there any fragrance to them?

David, yes it does have a fragrance, only at night like the normal Angraecums and quite powerful for such a small flower.
