Sederia japonica - Thanks Ross :)
Last month, Ross and his wife came to visit me while they were here in Florida. We had a great day and this plant was given to me, in full bud, as a gift.
The first bud opened 3 days ago but today was the first day I detected any fragrance 
The plant is so healthy and beautiful...my thanks again, Ross  |

It's really beautiful. I lost mine a couple of months ago and I miss it, especially the fragrance.

It's beautiful!  It was very kind of Ross to give you such a nice looking plant.

I forgot to mention in my original post that just one week prior to Ross and Dottie visiting, I had been watching one of my own Seds with it's 3 buds...all blasted a few days before this one arrived. Ross handing this to me was a super-nice surprise! |

I just believe an orchid should be happy and when it wasn't happy at my house, I thought it might be the snow!  Seriously, I have found that for me the Sederia grows better in a pot than mounted (I think it gets too dry here, even with daily dunkings.) |

Thanks Ross, I may try another one, in a pot.
Ross, I keep losing my mounted plants, I finally tried a couple of them flat on my racks and, don't ask me why, but they don't dry out so quickly, and they even live.....sometimes.
I bought a mounted seidenfada from Andy, on a rather long board, about 10-12 inches, and I hung it in my basement with my vandas. I can't belive it is still alive, and happy there. Possibly, it prefers the conditions between the larger plants.
I can't put my smaller ones there because they would get lost in the jungle.
