Hi Tennis
Lovely. I have one plant of this species which flowers intermittently. How
do you grow yours?
Cheers

One of a number of different forms I have of this species. Nicely
fragrant, too.
Loosely potted in a large CHC/#4 sponge rock mix, full sun during the
summer outdoors and watered as a cattleya, which for me means a little
on the dry side. I think they naturally get a drier winter as I don't
water often enough in the growrooms, where they sit directly under a
400W MH. I usually get a small blooming in the mid-winter, Dec-Jan, and
a fuller blooming in the summer, sometimes lasting from June all the way
through August.
