The first flowers on my nepenthes’ favorite companion, Haraella Odorata (Retrocallus)! I’ll try to get some better shots. Surprisingly hard to get decent photos, and they’re very delicate. I know I definitely need to refresh the spagnum it’s in and there’s a bit of white something growing on the wood mount-I have poured hydrogen peroxide over it, used fungicide everything I can think of and it’s unchanged oh well. Conditions are 65f at night 75f during the day, 12hrs indirect bright full spec, and very importantly humidity stays over 60%. I water whenever the roots looked silvery or the spag dried out sometimes it’s everyday. Very easy going despite being a bit picky about humidity. 🖤

      It’s such a unique flower it looks like it should have been loads more work to bloom! I’m struggling in dendribiums right now 😂

      Not that I can tell but according to other sources it should have a “sweet citrus smell” wow I thought orchid all smelled of vanilla and chocolates!

      I have a zygo that smells like black pepper, and a brassocattlya that smells just like lemon Pledge. 😂
