Den moschatum
This is the first time it's blooming for me...got it from a friend a few months ago.
It's a species from India and very interesting.
I read that it has a musky fragrance. Most of you
know how I feel about stinkers but I took a sniff and
it's a very light smell.
I can't call it fragrant because that word is meant for yummy smells  |

Wish I could grow these things - they just slowly dwindle then die (except for my anosmum and aberrans)  |

Nice Dendro! The others (hybrids) are nice too, but I love species. The plant looks very cool! The flowers are really stinkers? Never heard about stinkers Dendros, only Bulbos! A friend (owner of a nursery) bought some Bulbo fletcherianum in the Redlands to sell in Brazil, but the price is much for me (U$ 107,00, little plants). The rotten flesh smell is unforgetable!

Frederico,
Here's a link for an expanation of the plant. The "fragrance" is very faint. I guess it helps that it is not in an enclosed area

Nice growing Sue, the color and texture of this dend is so cool. Looks like a new bloomer maybe in a few days the stinch will become stronger. Faint stinch is a good thing |
