I'd enjoy that fragrance in my greenhouse. May I ask where you bought
it and growing conditions? The growth looks very Phal.-like in the
photos.

I think I got it from orchid Web. I’d have to check the tag to be sure though. And yes, they resemble phalaenopsis in their structure. Growing conditions are in my home in a west window. Summer temps of 78-82, winter 64-66, humidity between 45-60 depending on a/c lol. Grown in tree fern fiber, and gets a few hrs of direct sunlight a day.

I find it to be no harder to grow than a hybrid phalaenopsis or Maudiae Paph! Very easy! Keep moist, give good light, and that’s it.

I would agree not that hard to grow. Likes conditions similar to Phalaenopsis.

Very nice - might have to make room!

I like this species because they have dark green in the center of lip.
