Thank you everybody for your comments.
I haven't detected any fragrance yet on this bloom.
Rick, this is first flower to open and there are two more buds, we will see if they will have the same form or not soon. Last year I only had one flower, all the rest blasted while buds. Now I keep it in the humidity tray and buds are surviving:

Very nice!
It brings back good memories for me.
I had a plant of this species once, the flower exactly like this.
I got it from Woody Carlson about the time he quit work for Shaffer's Tropical Gardens near Santa Cruz. I wonder if it is the same?
That was almost 50 years ago. :eek:
