Well, on to something else. This one smells like vanilla cookies

Dendrochilum latifolium

This has bloomed a few times, but never producing a flower as large and nice as this one:

and check out it's great expression:

Dracula roezlii

Masdevallia staaliana. THis one has an amazing scent of fresh plums. I wish it opened more because the centers are really nicely purple speckled.

The texture on that Dracula is awesome.

Thank you. I was trying to remember the name of that guy. I need one myself. As far as the nectar, what can I say? I'm a sucker for pretty flowers and sweet sweet nectar lol. For those of you that haven't seen this in person.... OH MY GOD! The smell is amazing too just in case the visual wasn't enough.

Nothing as fancy as some of those but this is my first flower to bloom in my new tank.

Stelis ciliolata

And a close-up to see the 2 little windows that occur on every flower, so cute!:

And an awesome Lepanthes, unfortunately a cool grower. The flower is about 1.5 inches:
