Cryptopus paniculatus

My first blooming of a seedling I purchased from Louisiana Orchid Connection. I was surprised to see it producing two spikes on such a young plant. I have wanted to grow this genus since I received the Angraecoid Orchids book as a kid, so blooming this one is eventful for me!

Yeah, it's a cool genus, with very distinctive flowers. I forget, are these fragrant?

It is hard to believe it blooms so young. Great job, Zach.
