This has been one tough little plant. Got it in a 2.25" pot for $8 from Fantasy Orchids 6 years ago, and it still hasn't croaked!
It never seemed happy in any greenhouse, so I propped it up in a copper tray on the kitchen windowsill. That way I can add water whenever the cork and roots are looking dry, and it seems to get enough sun most of the year. This bloom, however, is looking over its shoulder, so probably wants brighter light than I'm giving it.
It has one main plant and 3 basal keikis, with at least one more looking like it wants to pop through.
Flowers are 2.25" tall with a very sweet scent.
