Enc.cochleata alba fragrance? Female
Default Enc.cochleata alba fragrance?

I bought the little alba in spike and it has been blooming for a couple of weeks now, one flower.
Of course I stuck my nose on the little flower at various times of the day and seem to detect the faint smell of honey in the mornings.
I now would like to find out, if my mind/nose is playing tricks on me. Is it wishful thinking on my part, my imagination taking over?
Can anyone confirm or deny that Enc. cochleata alba is fragrant?

Indeed, the classification was changed from Epidendrum to Prosthechea a few years back. Some orchids (mine included) still have tags with the old name. So my inventory reads EPI Cochleantum Black Jack x EPI Concheatum, which is of course not the alba variant.

Thank you both for your reply.
My tag reads Epi. and being a beginner, I trust what the grower puts on the tag. I will make a new tag with the proper name.
I'm happy to find out that the little flower is indeed fragrant and I was not imagening things.
Thanks again!
