    This is amazing Ron, this goes straight to my wish list. The lip on this one reminds me of a matchstick.

    im fine darren, thanks.
    scent is on the sweet side and a bit spicy, cant find anything in comparison, sorry.

    @tom
    plant ranges from 20-30 cm, branching out, pendulous growing and spike can reach more than 1 mtr, from where it blooms every 3-4 months or so, until it turns brown.
    it resembles a bit the malleola/cleisostoma habit.
