    Glad to see it finally flower again after a year!
    Fragrance is a spicy floral.

    Nice! How quickly does this dry out? I've heard that Phalaenopsis japonica has a lot of problems with rot so I'm surprised to see it growing in live moss.

    It gets misted twice a day. I never saturate the moss. The misting alone keeps the live moss alive. I have a variegated japonica where I had to really take off all the live moss since it was just too much. To my surprise, the roots were perfectly fine with some healthy aerial roots. I'm guessing the same outcome with this one.
