The fragrance is pleasantly similar to honey! The flowers of this species show slight variation, from a light pink lip to mottling in dark purple or crimson.Grow in bright light and water as the mix approaches dryness. Then, starting in late November, introduce this orchid into a cooler temperature rest period for the winter, allowing it to dry for a few days between watering. This cool dry rest is critical for successful flowering in spring. Show more
