Purchased in bud and started to open yesterday. I had buy one about 2 years ago and it only survived for a day. It has been about a week now and I did not kill it! Quite an achievement for me. It is in pot, so I need to be careful with watering. I already get personal advice from Elio. Regarding fragrance, I cannot smell anything right now. I hope it will thrive in my condition. According to Royal Horticultural Society, Haraella retrocalla/odorata is now named as Gastrochilus retrocallus.

I'm planning to cross with my Phalaenopsis Kenneth Schubert later and hope for the best! Fingers cross.
