Thanks for your comments. This species grows like a weed. However, it is best to keep it divided down to just a few growths. Otherwise, the flowers get lost in the foliage, which is taller than the inflorescence. 'Has a nice, spicey fragrance too!

Oh, and BTW, the petals are normally directed forwards, like a Lycaste; but, I like to flip them back so that I can enjoy all the colour!
