I received this plant from Malala Orchidees in the last group order, early in 2005. It's a slow grower for sure, but happy when kept hot and bright. To give a sense of size, from the tip of the uppermost leaf to the base of the plant is 4-1/2", and the bloom on the right measures 2-1/2" from right to left, and 3" from the top to the point on the lip.

The bloom on the right is about a week older than the one on the left, and you can see how the color of the sepals changes from light green to manilla as they age. The bottom photo was taken when the first flower opened last week.

There wasn't any fragrance that I could detect when I checked one night last week. If there is one, it's faint.
