    This orchid bloomed when received in very early spring.
    The flowers smell wonderfully good.
    It seems to grow pretty fast..
    It is very lush and quite nice.

Bloomed, not nearly as many as last year because I reported it at the wrong time about a month ago. Next year should be better.
