Pheromones..ok, I get that, I'm still just happy the chids I have smell good!

I am loving this thread!

I mainly collect orchids that are scented. My son is blind, and loves to smell them, and feel the flowers. When one is in bloom, I place it near his spot at the kitchen table. So far, his favourites are the zygos, lycastes, Sharry Baby and a catt walkeriana (sp?).

I think I need a bigger house!

One of my favorite orchids in my collection is my Brassavola cucullata. I also have a large specimen of Brassavola George Tyler (flagellaris X cucullata). Both orchids bloom all summer long and have a delightful citrus scent at night. I highly recommend them to everyone!

BC Dismore Perfection FCC/AOS.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this one already but I bought it for the scent. As far as I am concerned the blossoms, large, pink, and beautiful, are secondary.

I could do with learning which familys smell bad as well as good as my hubby would not be a happy person If I brought one home that smelt of rotten fish or doggy doo and me being me it is a high risk of it happening if these types are available for sale at online orchid nurserys ( believe me ive done dafter things )

That sounds wonderful. I'll have to check that out. Lower calorie count than cookies too.

Laeliocattleya Purple Cascade "Fragrant Beauty" has an amazing rose/gardenia fragrance


miltonidium Goliath Spire "Manua Loa" smells similar, more candy sweet


Wilsonara "Snowshell" has a light gardenia like odor



Bulbophyllum wendlandii smells a lot like fresh cut grass

My wife is going to love getting a beautifully scented orchid. This thread is purely awesome. Which scented ones are the easiest to conserve? (sorry I'm a super newbie)

Den kingianum, Den x delicatum both are supposed to be super easy to grow and bloom and have a lovely fragrance.

Onc sharry baby, onc twinkle - I find oncidiums very easy to grow tho have heard some people say they have trouble with them - I guess it depends on the climate you have etc


these ones I have mentioned don't have the big showy blooms as some other types of orchids but can bloom profusely and do have wonderful fragrance

I'm sure more people will chime in with their picks
