Hi,

this is one of the finest one-day bloomer, with a nice fragrance too.

Cheers,

I love the fragrance too! Nice photos.

What happened to the leaves?

Hi Tom,
the leaves just dropped a couple of weeks ago and new keikis popping up now. i have another clone without leaves, but it flowers.

Very nice Ron. Does this species go through a dormancy or semi-dormancy? The nice fragrance is a definite plus also. AL

Hi Al,
not really, but the flowering is often triggered by rainfall or drop in temperature.

I wondered about the leaves on this orchid. Thanks Ron. The bloom is really unique.

One day?! Man that's a bummer! Does it at least bloom frequently through the year?

Love that first pic! You really captured the beauty of the flower.
