I have my first bloom from a flask of phal. violacea "Boden's Blue x Orchidview "Gulfstream Blue" JC/AOS I bought January 2006.
I absolutely cannot believe the fragrance. I can taste the fireballs when I smell it, concentrated cinnamon. T's eyes bugged out when he first smelled it. Not what he expected.
The one with a bloom has 2 buds and ne of the sibs is developing a spike.
