My Max. Tenuifolia are blooming!

My mouth waters everytime I get a sniff of their scent. It transports me to the beach.

Too bad they haven't invented a polaroid version of smell-a-photo...lol.

Sandra, has your Max. bloomed? These are from the same batch.

Mine, too. Love that smell! I've got 3 in 4" pots and buds on all of them, so I can spread them around the yard to fill the yard with coconut oil scent. Like you said, takes you right to the beach!

I agree with the aroma. Mine has two blooms and I have to sniff it each time I pass.

Coconuts are delicious! Ha! Ha! I have one too but hasn't bloomed in about 2 years now. Maybe it will this year. Cross my fingers.

I want to go to the beach too. Good growing Damien.

I am glad I am not the only one enjoying this gem of an orchid. It is one of my favorite orchids...it not only smells great but I think the plant looks pretty.

Outstanding Damien! Congratulations!

No, nothing yet. I just repotted mine yesterday. I had it in a plastic pot with the slits up the sides....I hate these pots, they dry everything out way too fast. I changed it to the bottom holes, cone on the bottom and added more coir to the mix. Now, hopefully, the plant will retain the moisture inbetween watering. I've got the pina colada mix ready though for the big event, can't wait!
