    Smile Maxillaria tenuifolia

    This plant isn't as pretty as Cin's but it does have a fern in it! Possibly a bear's paw fern. I didn't even see it was budding up. I happened to grab it yesterday to see if it needed water and I could smell the coconut scent wafting up at me!! Such an easy plant to rebloom.

    hi shann,
    well done!
    how often would you repot it? seems like they like smaller pots for a loooong time.

    Thanks all!

    I've had this one a few years now and haven't repotted yet. Unless it gets a whole lot bigger I will leave it alone. Don't wanna mess up a good thing!
