Delish! I love this species. Another one with an ever-changing name.

Yes and multiple varieties. The variety hookeri has creamy to yellow flowers as this one looks like now. The nominal variety is ice white.

This plant in previous bloomings has had individual spikes with the complete range of yellow to white flowers open at the same time.

I have an 'extra' one, but it cost me a fair amount (carrie raven reimann doesn't sell anything cheaply)

I love it! No wonder I'm also trying to get one of these....!

It would be tempting, but my desires are greater than my space. I'm so out of contol -- I need to divest myself of many plants before I can seriously think of getting more. Thanks, though, Charles.

Yes, actually it has a nice floral smell with a hint of citrus.

Yes, there are 3 or 4 spikes this year.

There are actually 2 main growths on this plant. It's prone to producing basal keikies.
