Such a great plant. It has a neat story/history behind it, too.

You mean stories like Washington traveling with one during the American Revolution, and the Apollo astronauts carrying one into space with them?

nope, more like how it helped prove Darwin's theories true....

Fragrant but not a great smell, something like plastic...

Oh, that story is ok, I guess. But I like the one about how sesquipedale was in the gunfight at the OK Corral better.

By the way, good growing. I love the Angraecoids.

Better story, Phrag crossed Ang sesquipedale with Paph tigrinum and got an
Angry Tiger.
