The inflorescence-a panicle -is up to 40 in / 1 m long ,overhanging,branched and bearing many flowers . The flowers are quite large (up to 1.6 in /4 cm ),pale yellow,with a purple maring on the lip. Cultivation is the same as in the case of E.alata ,except for the heating requirements that are some what higher with E. aromatica.
