Den. speciosum

[landanew]

This is my second go around with a Den. I got this guy when I picked up the Den. nobile alba 'Hood', in June. It has grown a bunch, he is already outgrowing the pot! This guy has an unbelievable smell!

Very pretty! I wanna smell that fragrance!

I can't tell you how much I love the smell! I have a bunch of great smelling Phals, a few Vandas, Onc. Sharry Baby, Aerides odortum, C. Iwanagara Appleblosum, etc. and I think I like this guy as well or better than any of them!

what does it smell like?

[landanew]

A combination of a rose and a gardenia, very exotic.

Very nice, Brad. This species, based on its cast-iron resiliency, should, in my opinion, be a lot more popular over here than it is. Speciosum's got a nice scent, but be forewarned that once your plants gets to be a specimen, you might find the fragrance to be a little overwhelming. Congratulations on your flowers.
