Elegant species, always a favorite.
If you consider the smell of freshly cut mushrooms as fragrant then fragrant it is... It takes a few days for the smell to develop.
Lovely plant, very well grown. Don't cut off the spent flower spikes, they will reflower next season.

Very well grown! Do they flower in succession?

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. No they flower all at once. Actually I'm surprised. I only had this one year and I thought 15c min would be to warm but no!

Lovely. So many flowers!
Hello,
Paphmadman, it doesn't flower in succession (like a Pinocchio) but the spikes will reflower the next season, so don't cut them.
Marco, these guys do OK in the heat. Mine withstood 30+ oC days without issue. I didn't even have to stand it in water; just watered it each day. Some cultivars of this species seem to prefer a drier medium than one typically expects for a Masdie. Others Masdies in my collection did not enjoy the hot weather at all...

Thanks!
