My buddy Grandma M sent me the cornstalks she was tired of, this is one of them! I can't claim my culture brought it to blooming, as I few days after I recieved it, there's the bud! (Nice going Marilynn!) Thank goodness it didn't blast! All the leaves on the plant have yellowed & fell off but the spike remained! 5flowers, 1 has not quite opened yet.

None at this time, is there hope? My zygo's scent seemed to intensify after the flowers were opened a few days.

What a chance, nice corn-'bloom'. Jean

I'm glad you like it and gave it a good home. BTW, Rose, the flowers are very pretty.

I gave these away because, in my eyes, the 'corn stalk like' plants are about as ugly as an orchid plant can get. I grew up on a farm and I see no reason for cultivating mini corn stalks in with my orchids. ity: Sorry if I offend any of you 'corn stalk' lovers.

I give you the credit! Another thing Marilyn mentioned to me is that they would spike & then blast. The first thing I thought when seeing that bud was - FAT CHANCE! They were shipped bareroot, repotted & put in the GH, nothing like a change!
BTW the others look pretty much like they did when you sent them, they are still holding green leaves!

Could be. Check it in the evening or early morning. Some Mormodes are fragrant.

I am detecting a slight fragrance this evening! I would say it's on the spicy side.

That's what I would expect. Congrats! Both pretty flowers and fragrance. Can't beat that!
