Seidentadenia (Aerides) mitrata
 

My Seidentadenia mitrata (was once considered to be an aerides) is blooming. It is quite fragrant. :drool:

Here are a couple of pics to enjoy. :D

Looks great David!
Mine has 4 spikes, but only the first one has started to pop open it's buds...
It is one of my favorite fragrant ones!

Oh that is sooo cute. What does it smell like?

Thanks Laura and Tracy,

tracy...it's got a light, sweet, spicy fragrance, not too heavy at all. :D

Oh, I love it. I don't do well with mounted plants, but could I grow something like that hanging among my vandas, which get watered every day? I think it might stay more humid in among the vandas. Remember, I live in Michigan, and grow my vandas in my basement under HID lights.

I have 5 vandas in bloom at the present time.

I might have difficulty finding one large enough to hang there but I would like to try if you think it would do well there.

Very nice! The terete leaved aerides is very beautiful.

Beautifully grown and photographed. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! I love the contrast between the dark spike and the stark blooms. Cool mount too! Very natural and wild-looking.

David, I love the way you have this mounted! :clap:

It's gorgeous! :cloud9:

That's a beautiful plant. Those long pendant leaves remind me of a brassavola (maybe perrinnii). Congratulations on this one. It looks great.
