    My first time blooming this species! Got this one 4 years ago, grew well but never bloomed. I love it, and it smells so good. Grown in tank under LEDS

    Great blooming! I love the flush of red on the leaf margins as well.

    Great flowers!!

    If the leaves are a bit red, it is because of too much light....
    In Madagascar, I saw some with red-brown leaves because all the big trees were cut all around and the sun was too strong for this shady orchid!!

    Yes I think it's on the edge of too much light! I dont know what made it bloom this year, to be honest! it smells so wonderful!

    Bravo, Calvin! How rewarding to finally bloom it after so much patience.

    And the fragrance these have is really super, just like gardenia.
