VERY nice!! I had no idea that these could be fragrant, and I would have expected them to be stinkers rather than pleasant smelling.

Yes, the Gongoras definitely look like birds. I think my leuchochila (http://www.orchidboard.com/community...uchochila.html) looks more like a flying vampire pterodactyl.
