Is this a spike on my sedirea japonica?

I definitely thought it smelled citrus-y. Somewhat like Pledge (the lemon scented kind). I really don't think I can pin it down, but it was intoxicating.

I came home from my nightshift to smell the blooms and I thought they smelled so good....and then I remembered Astrid saying that it reminded her of lemon pledge and it really does! I guess I like the smell of lemon pledge lol I will post pics in the afternoon tomorrow.

Sorry it took so long, I have a terrible cold and yesterday it came with a horrible headache due to congestion in my sinuses 😩

Your orchid is very pretty. Will it always stay on the smaller size?

Thank you 😊 I got this one in the beginning of March at the Denver Orchid show and a month later it started to spike I have read that they will stay small. I think it will get a tiny bit bigger but that's should be it.

Thanks Mandy for letting me know. I will have to add it to my want list.
