Stanhopea Assidensis orchid

Stanhopea Assidensis is an orchid hybrid dating back to 1922. The flowers have a vanilla fragrance, though this one was a bit high even for me to check that. The reason it’s high up is that these must be grown in a basket as the flower spikes emerge through the sides or bottom of the baskets!

    It is absolute gorgeous and fancy having a scent. Is it quite small? Our native orchids are the size of a 10c piece at best and they are scented but the larger cymbidiums have none.
