neofinetia falcata. standard white is like $10 at oakhill. smells good its small and can hang between 30-90 degree weather

Now why is it I am not surprise at your suggestion?



What about nasty smelling ones?
Ones that are as aromatic as rotting flesh or moldy shoe?

Thank you new member
and

Anyone else? with any suggestions!

I'm glad you are not my sister.
Bulbo echinolabium. I want one so badly, but my family won't survive in the same place with this orchid.

One of the stinkers I have had is Mtdm. Hawaiian Sunset . To me it smelled like mouldy stinky gym socks or cat P . Not hard to find or expensive . I gave mine a new home lol . Gin

I agree with Shadow on Bulbo echinolabium...it's a beauty but

Phhheewww!

Gin, I have that one and it's never had any fragrance
Now, I'm happy about that because

Phhheewww!

is a no-no!

For interesting shapes a paph maudiae type will fill that requirement. People always look at slippers because of their exotic shape. Sometimes they even look carnivorous to people. Not fragrant though.

Also Paph insigne is a easy grower and will love the cool temps. Not fragrant either.

There are a few slippers that are lightly fragrant....

A phal hybrid with violacea or phal bellina will have fragrance. The hybrids should be easier to keep than the species

How cool is the apartment?
I keep my house quite cool in the winter at night and when no one is home.

Phrag besseae hybrids! I just felt like saying it not fragrant and conventionally pretty but still a slipper too

Thank you all for your help!
Bulbo echinolabium is quite a looker! .. and seems to be small enough and quite the stinker from this person's experience ..

Bulbo echinolabium, how stinky??? - Orchids Forum - GardenWeb

Mtdm. Hawaiian Sunset might be a bit tall but another nice looking plant none the less.
Paph maudiae, a nice slipper ... classica paph! The green, pinks and reds are beautiful.
I will have to hold off for a while though, I just found out he has a job interview in Florida so he may moving.

I found what the worst smelling orchid is according to this site
Orchid Trivia - Orchids

It also has other cool orchid trivia on it too ...
