I got this plant From Tom Ritter at his nursery in Orlando, Fl. It just bloomed.

Very Nice! is it fragrant?
How long have you had it? I ask as I have had one for about 14 months & I 'think' it just may have a spike forming? have you any photos of the spike by chance?

There is a little bit of fragrance, but not much. i have had it since February. Ill go take a picture of the spike right now.

What a cutie! I'm assuming since it is growing without potting medium that you are watering it daily? Do you dunk it in water or just spray it heavily? It looks happy whatever you are doing!

I drench the whole plant with the watering hose in my greenhouse daily.
