Elaine, I'm delighted the tampensisis blooming for you and the fragrance must make your day.

The Grammatophylum scriptum photos on the above post were taken before the OC was built. I chose them because they nicely showed the root development. The roots do that naturally in order to catch forest nutrients from the tree canopy in their native habitat. It is a wonderful orchid if you have the space. It now hangs in the OC and is only moved for show purposes.
