    My first time blooming a Stanhopea, and this thing is amazing. Individual blooms are about 5" across, and smell strongly like oranges mixed with basil. I'm growing this one in sphag in an open plastic basket. It's on my porch for the summer. In the winter it goes down in the basement under lights with most of the rest of my plants. As usual, please excuse the cell phone pics. -Stephen 10573728_10152335573201864_373522015_o (1).jpg 10631539_10152335558291864_56424078_o.jpg
