Neofinetia Lou Sneary has several beautiful, highly fragrant clones. My favorite is 'Blue Moon', even though I havn't seen it in person and can't find it anywhere.
Also:
Bulbophyllum ambrosia: honey, almost too sweet
Lycaste aromatica: cinnamon
Oncidium ornithorhynchum: complex sweetness, overall effect is brown sugar :biggrin:
Phalaenopsis mannii: mandarin oranges
Trichoglottis philippinensis: ripe or baked apple
Maybe a little redundant, but I'm also putting in my vote for Onc. Twinkle and Max. tenuifolia...now to figure out how to put the lime in the coconut (orchid)... :biggrin:

Hmmmm, very interesting:evil: Do you have any pictures of it? Does it also smell like chocolate? :drool: Are the flower spikes any more compact? I was drooling over a sherry baby at a show last year, but the spikes were immense, too big for what I had room for at the time.:(

Glad this thread was resurrected! My newest "go-to" frangrant orchid I use to compare all others (including Encylia tampensis) is Cischweinfia sheehanae. It is so "heady" a scent that all others pale to me. This plant will fill a room quickly with a strong flowery scent - very pleasant. http://www.orchidboard.com/community...bs/DSC2988.jpg

Me too! started to open a few days ago and I have been waiting for the fragrance. Yesterday I could smell it when I was near the plant - today I can smell it from the next room! lol

Hope you enjoy your new zygo as much as I am mine!

Hi
As mine was a division that I brought I dont suppose it will flower for quite some time. But I can wait. just hope its worth waiting for? Enjoy yours.

Well they bloom from very new growth - so perhaps the wait will not be as long as you might think :goodluck:

don't know if you can tell in the pic but spike is from that small new growth
