at sudden glance youd think they are all wilting...but you realize it is responding to gravity...does it have fragrance?

minimal scent noted, the usual catasetum smell,,,,some call it minty, some said like cinnamon smell. but very lightly scented for this species.

i said minimal fragrance with this orchid species previously but this evening i could notice a stronger scent from the flowers. not the type where u could smell it from several feet away.
i dunno how to describe the smell, but stronger than previously, slightly minty or maybe mix with some nutmeg smell.

They remind me of little birds. Lovely.
