    Default Rhyncostylis coelestis in bloom

    Here are a few pics of my R. coelestis in bloom. These are the second blooms on this plant. Last year it bloomed in August, I was told that it was the first bloom when I got it. The flowers have a fresh fragrance like the ones of wet wipes.

    Here is the entire plant with blooms

    Very pretty. What is the potting media that you have used? Is it just coconut husk?
