Beautiful bloom. Is it fragrant?

I have had mine for 3 years and it looks like I am finally going to see a bloom. I cannot wait.

That is a really nice epi
Siam.

I had to go sniff, it's fragrance is very subtle...clean smelling with a bit of spice.

Looks like it will be just a one day bloom. Lucky for me it happened on my day off of work.

seems an odd time of year for epis to bloom. nice surprise! Is that growing in the ground?? Hardy?

It's supposed to be hardy. It is planted in ground next to the house with an eastern exposure. We had a hot, dry summer (typical for Texas) and now that the weather has cooled a bit and we are getting rain, the garden is coming back to life rather than just surviving!

Kylie probably told me what this is called, but I didn't tag it. I *think* it's an epi.
