Default First bloom Phal. violacea

I have my first bloom from a flask of phal. violacea "Boden's Blue x
Orchidview "Gulfstream Blue" JC/AOS I bought January 2006.

I absolutely cannot believe the fragrance. I can taste the fireballs
when I smell it, concentrated cinnamon. T's eyes bugged out when he
first smelled it. Not what he expected.

The one with a bloom has 2 buds and ne of the sibs is developing a
spike.
