    That is lovely and the smell of root beer intrigues me it must be wonderful, we Brits cant do root beer as it tastes of antiseptic here my husband assures me true American root beer is a totally different drink to what we get.

    You have rootbeer flavored candies in the UK if I remember correctly ....
    No matter where it's made, root beer tastes like a late 19th century antiseptic ointment to me!

    What an attractive flower. I love the markings on the sepals, how they're not solid colored, the labellum is great with the spots, and the white petals make a stunning contrast.
