The name of your plant is Ghillanyara Haleahi.

Yes ok I didn't name it.....Hawaiian Fl.Nurs. in 2001 did.

now your Gba. is short for Geberara, having found that we find that it's a synonym for Col. Collierara., in this case.

now Maikai is a Bsn. Brassanthe.

As for the ABV. of Ghillanyara......still looking, maybe one of the other members might know.

Buckie, good sleuth work! I am always happy to know the name of any of my orchids. I don't have this one, but it is so lovely it will go on my wish list. Great growing Krystl.
I had never heard of a Ghillanyara before. I guess that is RHS nomenclature and it also goes by Iwanagaara Haleahi. Haleahi certainly sounds like a Hawaiian name but no idea what it means.

I think They only smell at night when it gets dark so the bugs can find them for pollination. The light of day it becomes diffused. So if you want fragrance, put it in the dark and sneak up on it in the middle of the night ..

I kept mine by the bed so when I woke up I had the wonderful aroma there too

a few 3-4 hours maybe by my best recollection :P..
its strong enough to faintly fill a smallish 15 x 15 bedroom...its not going to knock ya down like the sickening sweet smell of a tiger lily.

I just put my nose in everything..I really do ..if it was cold and wet I could have been RJFIDO

I believe that Hawaiian Floral registered the plant as Iwanagaara Haleahi. The Genus changes occurred later.
Haleahi consists of two Hawaiian words. "Hale" is house or home. "Ahi" is the tuna fish ... but I don't think that is the meaning here. A second meaning refers to fire. There is a Honolulu Fire Dept Newsletter called Hale Ahi (which I assume refers to fire house.

So I think that the name Haleahi must be a little more meaningful like House of the Fire or Home of the Fire ... something to that effect, rather than where the fire trucks park ... or home of the tuna fish.
