Can anyone please help me in identifying this Orchid ? I don’t remember how did I plant this. Whether it was a bulb or only a leaf (like Saussurea obvallata). Just thought that it’s a simple ornamental leaf plant and didn’t notice when did it bloom. Was so excited to see this beautiful and fragrant flower.
