Haraella odorata bloomed! Updated! See last post.
So now I can finally post something in this section of the forum. I actually got an orchid to bloom for me. I feel like almost an expert. LOL.
Here are the pics.
And here it is in bloom, it was a long wait from the first signs of budding.

Very nice indeed, it looks like a pretty large flower compared to the size of the plant. From the 'odorata', how does it smell - good, bad??

Its supposed to smell like lemons, but I cant smell it yet. Maybe I need to get my nose checked up.

Unique and pretty! It may take a day or two for the odor to come through.

Here is an update on the flower. it has opened up a little more, and my coworkers say that my vivarium now has a faint smell of lemons. I cant smell it though.

update, the flower has died. It fell off about 2 hours after I took this pic.
But, as you can see, another one on its way!!!

Guess who's done it again!!
This time its bloomed with two buds!!!! Im so happy. Nothing gives me more pleasure, in the hobby sense, than to see something flower inside my vivariums.
