It would be interesting if your plant would bloom during the warmer part of the year so it could be outside during the process. I know of another non-orchid flower, Gymnocoronis spilanthoides that smells like baby powder and it is second to none in attracting Monarch butterflies and is extremely attractive to other species of butterflies as well.
