    Nice mini with flowers that are surprisingly fragrant both day and night. They're about 1½" across and have a heavy substance to them.

    Growing intermediate, medium light, dries out between waterings.

    7 flowers this year. The plant grows well and the leaved are shaped correctly, but they're held so upright the plant looks startled. Also, the leaf that looks like a basal keiki isn't. A spike either last year or the year before, I forget, grew a pair of small leaves at the base. Weird.

    Marvelous job with this one. It's such a floriferous species when grown well
