:drool: I admired this plant just a couple nights ago. I was at Seattle Orchid for a NWOS show committee meeting. Another member bought the other one they had that had even darker flowers. He also got a great deal.

Things have become a little busy, so am not sure I will be able to get the whole spike+plant. Here is a photo of the plant (top one) that was taken recently for comparison with my schilleriana's foliage.

:rollhappy: I don't smell any lighter fluid, though maybe a slight floral overtone.
